How to: Action Center Quick Actions - Rearrange in Windows 10 Mobile

How to Rearrange Action Center Quick Actions on Windows 10 Mobile Phone


Information Windows 10 Mobile puts important notifications from your apps just a swipe away in action center, along with quick actions, which get you to your most-used settings and apps instantly.

Swipe down from the top of your screen to open action center and see your notifications and quick actions.

Quick actions take you right to (or turn on or off) the settings and apps you're likely to use often, from Bluetooth to brightness. Press and hold a quick action for a setting to jump directly to that setting's page. When you open action center you'll see either your top four picks or all your available quick actions. Expand or collapse them to see more or fewer quick actions.

Starting with Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 14322, you can add, remove and re-arrange the Quick Actions that show up in Action Center.

This tutorial will show you how to rearrange quick actions in the action center on your Windows 10 Mobile phone.



Note In Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 14342, the Settings app may crash when you are re-arranging Quick Actions. If it does, it could result in one of the Quick Action spots disappearing. If you see this happen, please refrain from changing your Quick Action settings on this build. If you have been impacted by this issue, only a hard reset will revert your Quick Action settings back to default.


EXAMPLE: Quick Actions at top of Action Center








Here's How:

1. Open Settings, and tap on System. (see screenshot below)



2. Tap on Notifications & actions. (see screenshot below)



3. Press and hold (or select) a quick action you want to rearrange, then drag and drop to where you want within the other quick actions to rearrange. Repeat for any other quick actions you want to rearrange. (see screenshot below)



4. When finished, you can tap on the Start button to return to your Start screen if you like. (see screenshot below)





That's it,

Hi Amisha,

You can puts important notifications from your apps just a swipe away in action center, along with quick actions, which get you to your most-used settings and apps instantly. We suggest that you following steps below:

• Open Settings, and tap on System.
• Tap on Notifications & actions.
• Tap on Add or remove quick actions. Windows 10 opens a list with all the
  quick actions that can be added or removed. You can add a
  quick action by settings its switch to On.
• Search for Cellular/Mobile, then switch it to ON.

Note: To rearrange your quick actions, press and hold (or select) a quick action you want to rearrange, then drag and drop to where you want within the other quick actions to rearrange. Repeat for any other quick actions
you want to rearrange.

Let us know how it goes.

Quick Actions

I want to know how I can change the quick actions that you see in the expanded list on Windows 10 Mobile. I know how to change them for the four quick actions that appear at the top of the action center. I noticed silliness like open up OneNote and such
and want to put actual settings in place of those silly ones.

 

Hello Paul, *Smile

I have Windows 10 Mobile 10.0.14332.1001 installed, and this still works for me to arrange in all rows. Double check that you are pressing and holding long enough to be able to drag and drop the action where you like within the other actions.

 

Hi Brink,

Version 1511, OS Build 10.0.10586.218.

I only have the 4 bottom ones to change. I don't know how to do a screen grab to show you, sorry.

Paul.

 

Ah, that's why then. You don't have build 14332 installed. It's an Insider preview build.

 

So, it will come eventually.

Thanks again.

 

It will indeed. *Smile
