The display settings menu in Windows 11 is where you adjust your monitor’s resolution, change the display scaling, and pick between multiple monitors. Below, I’ll show you the quickest methods to open the display settings on a Windows 11 PC.
The Start menu is the easiest and most widely used method to open any app in Windows, including the Settings app. You can even search for specific settings menus from the Start menu. Here’s how:
- Press the Win key to launch the Start menu.
- Type Display settings and click the Open option in the right pane to go to the display settings section.

- Right-click on the desktop to open the context menu. Click the Display settings option.

Managing multiple monitors and adjusting the refresh rate and resolution is pretty straightforward on Windows 11, thanks to its streamlined display settings menu.
