Manage Bluetooth Devices from Windows Quick Settings

Using Bluetooth headphones, a mouse, or a keyboard? In Windows 11, you don’t always need to open the Settings app to manage your connected devices.

Press Windows key + A to open Quick Settings. From there, select the arrow next to Bluetooth to quickly access available and paired devices.

You can use this panel to:

• Turn Bluetooth on or off

• Connect to previously paired devices

• Find and pair nearby Bluetooth devices

• Check whether a device is connected

For supported devices, Windows can also display the battery level, making it easy to see when your headphones or other accessories may need charging. Battery information may not be available for every Bluetooth device.

Tip: Windows key + A also gives you quick access to Wi-Fi, volume, brightness, and other frequently used controls.
