How to Reset Default Open Position of Windows Mobility Center in Windows 10


If you use a Windows 10 PC (ex: laptop or tablet) that runs on a battery, you can access the most commonly used settings for mobile devices, such as brightness, volume, battery status, screen orientation, external display, Sync Center settings, and presentation settings from the Windows Mobility Center (mblctr.exe). Tiles displayed in the Windows Mobility Center may vary depending on your system and added by the OEM.

When you open the Windows Mobility Center for the first time, it'll open centered on your main display. Afterwards, the Windows Mobility Center will open to the same location and position you last closed it at.

This tutorial will show you how to reset the open position of Windows Mobility Center to the default centered on the main display for your account in Windows 10.


EXAMPLE: Windows Mobility Center






Here's How:

1. Close the Windows Mobility Center if open.

2. Click/tap on the Download button below to download the .bat file below.

*note The downloadable .bat file deletes the DWORD values in the registry key below that resets the open position of Windows Mobility Center back to default.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files.

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
