The lower right corner of Taskbar in Windows 11 has a button for the Notification Center (Win+N) and Quick Settings (Win+A).
Quick Settings is the place for you to quickly manage and access settings like Volume, Brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane mode, Battery saver, Night light, Mobile hotspot, Accessibility, Nearby sharing, and Project.
After you edit quick settings to add and remove quick settings you want, you can back up your changes to be able to restore later.
This tutorial will show you how to backup and restore Quick Settings for your account in Windows 11.
