Windows 10: Quick Action keys break Windows 11 Start

I have a problem with my computer that I cannot find any solution for, I have a laptop with Windows 11 and the action keys that change things such as volume and brightness do not work anymore, the only thing they do is restart start. It makes all my taskbar icons disappear for a moment and the start menu takes a bit to appear again. Some action keys do work, like the project key and the help key and the brightness key does work, but doesn't show me the slider. I have tried restarting, reinstalling my keyboard drivers and looking for updates for them too but I have no idea what the problem is.T

Add or Remove Quick Actions in Action Center in Windows 10


Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to turn on/off certain Quick Actions icons in the Action Center via the registry, instead of doing it manually as described above.

Before asking here I've wandered through some posts and searched the internet. I've noticed these keys:

1/

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ActionCenter\Quick Actions\

Here's a list of names of all the Quick Actions.

2/

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ActionCenter\Quick Actions\UnpinnedByDefault

Here's a list of names of Quick Actions that should be Unpinned by default. If I add some here (based on the names in the list described above) and reboot it doesn't seem to work.

3/

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\ActionCenter\Quick Actions

The value PinnedQuickActionSlotCount here is set at 4, which is the amount of Quick Actions seen by default without expanding the view in the Action Center. I don't need to change this one so I haven't tried it.

4/

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Quick Actions\Pinned

There seems to be a numbered list here of Pinned Quick Actions. The names are the same as in the list I mentioned in (1/). However if I remove some values here it also doesn't have effect (even after a reboot).

----

Conclusion: I haven't found a thing that actually worked. Did anyone figure this out already?

Thanks,

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.
