If you want to quickly change things like your volume, screen brightness, or Wi-Fi on your Windows 11 computer, you can use the Quick Settings panel. This panel is found at the bottom right corner of your screen, near the clock.

The Quick Settings panel shows buttons for things like battery, network (Wi-Fi), volume, and more. You can use it to turn features on or off or adjust settings without opening the full Settings app.

By default, Windows shows only some buttons here. But you can easily add buttons you use often or remove ones you don’t need. This guide will show you how!

What is the Quick Settings Panel?

It’s a small window that opens when you click the battery, sound, or network icon in the bottom right corner. It gives you fast access to things like:

• Volume control
• Screen brightness
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• Airplane mode
• Night light (makes your screen warmer at night)
• Battery saver
• And more…

You can also open Quick Settings by pressing Windows key + A.
