I am exploring a different challenge that arises from my transition to a Windows 11 machine. While I have successfully pinned files/folders/apps to the taskbar, a new issue has emerged. Specifically, I rely on Open Office to manage our bills through a custom spreadsheet I recreate annually. In Windows 10, I could easily drag a new file over the Open Office app on the taskbar to add it to the pinned list (as shown in the attached image). 

However, this function no longer works in Windows 11, and the instructions available are focused on adding items directly to the taskbar. This change has resulted in two identical icons on the taskbar, making it challenging to differentiate or change them. I am seeking advice on whether this feature has been deactivated and how to address the duplication issue. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
