A lot of my job is copying and pasting big batches of PDF files from one file window and sorting them into folders in another window. Before I upgraded to 11 when I would paste a batch it would keep all the things I just moved highlighted so I could easily grab them all again and move them somewhere else. Now with 11 when I go to grab that batch it only selects the one file I clicked and dragged on directly while it automatically deselects all the other ones.

Please tell me there is a secret answer to this because it has slowed down my work flow significantly and I cannot use Linux or stay on 10 as we are required to move to 11 in order for data safety compliance blah blah blah

Please tell me I am just blind or searching the wrong things up looking for my solution.

I just decided to download one command. I figure I can probably set it up to work the way I need. Sucks because I did like many of the changes 11 brought to the file system. Oh well. 2 steps forward and 37 back is the Microsoft motto these days.
