As part of the latest Windows updates, Microsoft fixed the broken drag-and-drop on the address bar, finally allowing you to move folders and files to a folder or few above the current one (Microsoft calls that "breadcrumbs"). When the new features are just old broken features coming back

Nope, nope, nope.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
