This article explains the steps you can take to add or remove the Quick settings buttons on the panel window in Windows 11.
The Quick Settings panel (battery, network, or volume icon) at the bottom right corner of the Taskbar gives you quick access to settings and features, including Volume, Screen brightness, Night light, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane mode, Accessibility, Battery saver, Mobile hotspot, Nearby sharing, Cast, and Project.
Directly from the Quick Settings fly-out panel, you can control devices and other settings without navigating through the Settings app.
By default, not all buttons are displayed on the panel. If the fly-out window is missing specific buttons, you can add them or remove buttons you don’t use.
