General Rearrange Quick Actions in Quick Settings in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to rearrange quick action buttons to show in the order and position you want in Quick Settings for your account in Windows 11.

Quick Settings gives you quick access from the taskbar corner to commonly used settings and apps like Volume, Brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane mode, Rotation lock, Battery saver, Accessibility, Night light, Mobile hotspot, Nearby sharing, Cast, and Project.

Starting with Windows 11 build 25967 (Canary), Microsoft is trying out a scrollable view of quick settings to some Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel as part of evaluating effectiveness of different layouts. As part of the change, rather than having to edit the list to add new quick actions, the user now has a scrollable list of quick actions that can be rearranged.

The arrangement order of your quick actions (buttons) in Quick Settings is saved to the UserLayout string value (REG_SZ) in the key below in Registry Editor (regedit.exe)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Quick Actions\Control Center\Saved Layouts

Here's How:

1 Open Quick Settings (Win+A).

2 Drag and drop quick actions to the order and position you want within Quick Settings.

It is recommended to rearrange quick actions you use most often to the top of the scrollable list in Quick Settings for faster and easier usage.

That's it,
