Windows 11 Quick Settings

Windows 11 Quick Settings allow you  to change frequently used settings  without having to search menus or remember  complex keyboard shortcuts. For example,  you can use the Windows 11 Quick Settings panel to  adjust the volume and brightness of your laptop,  change your Wi-Fi network, and turn on nightlights  and airplane mode. In addition, you can take  advantage of playback controls when playing music in apps like Microsoft Edge and Spotify. The Windows 11 Quick Settings replace  the Quick actions from Windows  10 Action Center, so you can use the same keyboard shortcut to open them. To access the Windows 11 Quick Settings panel  on your laptop or computer, click the network,  volume, or battery icon in the system tray next to the clock in the lower right corner of the screen.  If you are using a desktop computer and  a wired connection for Internet access,  you will see a volume icon next to your computer  icon. Click one to open Windows 11 Quick Settings. The number of settings in Windows 11 you can use depends on your device  and determines what you see on your  dashboard for easy access. However,  before we show you how to add and remove quick settings, let's take a look at some features.  Accessibility - Opens a menu  where you can quickly enable the Windows 11 accessibility features  Magnifier, Color filters, Narrator,  Mono audio, and Sticky keys. • Airplane mode - Turns the  Airplane mode on or off.  Bluetooth - Turns the  Bluetooth chip on your device on or off.  Focus assist - Toggles through the different  modes of Focus assist, which turns off Windows 11 notifications. You can use Priority only,  Alarms only, or turn off the feature.  Keyboard layout - Opens a menu where  you can choose between the keyboard  layouts installed in Windows 11. Mobile hotspot - Turns mobile hotspot on or  off, letting you use your Windows 11 device as a  Wi-Fi hotspot to share your internet connection.  Nearby sharing - Enables or disables Nearby  sharing, allowing you to share files and  other types of content with devices in range  through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.  Volume - helps you adjust the  volume on your device. You can  also use the arrow next to the  slider to open a menu and select  different speakers in Windows 11. Some apps, like Microsoft Edge or Spotify,  can add media controls to Quick Settings in  a different panel, located on top of the main one, as seen below. You decide which Quick Settings are displayed  in the panel. The easiest way to do this is  to click or tap the Edit quick settings  pencil button in the bottom-right corner. Alternatively, you can also right-click or  press-and-hold on a button or a free space  inside the Quick Settings and then click or tap on Edit quick settings. This opens the editing mode,  where you can customize the Quick Settings  panel depending on your preferences and needs. To remove an existing setting, click  or tap the unpin icon shown in the  upper-right corner of each of the  displayed Quick Settings buttons.  Keep in mind that you can't remove or  relocate the two sliders at the bottom. To add a new setting, click or tap on the Add button at the bottom of the panel. This brings up a list  of other available Quick Settings.  Clicking or tapping on any of the listed Quick  Settings immediately adds it to the panel. Finally, you can also change the order of the  displayed Quick Settings. While in edit mode,  drag and drop the available buttons to  arrange them in a way that makes sense to you. We think the Quick Settings panel is a  fast way to adjust and enable the options  you use the most in Windows 11. Microsoft has  been improving this feature since its launch,  so we are hoping for more useful additions. What do you think? Are there other Quick Settings you would  like to see in this panel?
