  2. Adding Ethernet Settings to the Quick Access menu

    Hello Daniel Scheperle,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    To customize the Quick Access toolbar in Windows 11 and add settings that are not readily available on the list, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open the Quick Settings menu. You can do this either by using the Windows + A key combination or by clicking on the WiFi or volume icon on the taskbar.
    2. In the Quick Settings panel, click on the pencil icon (Edit quick settings button). This will allow you to see editing options.
    3. Click on the "Add" button to add new functions to your Quick Settings. This will show you multiple options such as Project, Mobile hotspot, Cast, Nearby sharing, Night light, Keyboard layout, etc. You can select the features you want to add.
    4. To remove a feature, click on the unpin option at the top of each feature.
    5. You can also change the order of options in the Quick Settings panel by dragging a feature on the editing panel and dropping it where you want to place it.
    6. After customizing, press the "Done" button to save your changes.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding!

    Best wishes

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    I want to change the quick settings menu but I don't have the pencil icon

    Size of Quick Launch icons changed

    That's ok. Check using step 6 in option 1 in the same tutorial above to change the size of the icons in the Quick Launch toolbar.
