Quick Settings in Windows 11

Quick Settings in Windows 11 resembles what you might get on an Android or iOS device. There are now sliders for both the brightness and the volume of your PC. The volume slider even has a pop-out menu to let you pick your output source.

To access these settings just type 'settings' in the search box.

Also if you’re listening to music, you’ll see a little player up on top of the Quick Settings, so you don’t have to go into the app itself.

It’s a massive difference from Windows 10, where you had to use tiny icons in the taskbar for common tasks. Even the WI-Fi setting option has a pop-out menu, letting you pick networks directly from quick settings.
