Still on Win10 here... are you telling me that in Win11 you couldn't (until now) drag/drop directly onto the folder (treeview) panel? That's absolutely crazy! I even have links to FTP sites so that I can just drag-drop up to FTP (without having to open the FTP folder and get the file list, which takes foreeeeever).
That said, I currently (starting a week or so ago) have an issue where if I right-click anything in explorer (to access anything on the context menu) it takes a good 30 seconds to open... I'm assuming a 3rd party tool (e.g. SodaPDF, Notepad++, PowerISO or something) is broken... nothing updated for a while. Except.. yes a Windows update, 13th June. doh...

I had that as well - lasted about a week, but suddenly went away. I thought it was doing a "proper reboot" of my system that cured it, but probably not.

Strange. I could've sworn Kaspersky got banned at least half a decade ago.
Or maybe that was "the US government", as opposed to "the US" in general...?
I'm tempted to suggest that while they're at it, they should ban the sale of all antivirus software (since, according to most industry pundits, the one built into Windows is now, and has been, "good enough" for a long time...but then I suppose MS would become complacent.

English is not my mother tongue but "favorited" sounds like a complete abomination. However Microsoft seems to think otherwise. This is a screen capture from Windows Explorer. How would you vote: to favorite or not to favorite?
PS A phrase like "After you marked some files as favourites, we'll show them here", wouldn't have been much longer and for sure would have been more grammatically sound.

Using past tense in such scenarios can be problematic.
Best not to verb it.

Favoriting is not a valid word. Favorite is either a noun or an adjective but not a verb.

I was once told (half-jokingly) that in English, you can practically "verb any noun".
|
|
|
|
|
And noun any verb. But you have to be careful.
|
|

In this case they seem to verb adjectives too as the proper phrase would have been "favorite file". Not sure if English language should be "beautifuled" with these constructs. I know I'm picky but I love this language even if it's an adopted one.

Beautified.
And in this case, yes, it's a thing.

Which illustrates the ambiguity: Is your "favorite file" the one you would prefer over other files, or a file of your favorites (e.g. URLs, lovers or whatever)?
In this case, you could of course "favorites file" for the second alternative, but even if you can, maybe you don't do that. I have seen lots of such cases where I had to guess from context what the meaning is. The less ambiguity, the better. (Except when the very purpose of the statement is to play with the language!)
