In Windows 11, double-clicking the Bluetooth icon in the system tray opens the menu in the below screenshot. Is there a way to directly open this menu with a keyboard shortcut? If not, then is there a command that works via the Run menu or a command prompt, which I could then map to a keyboard shortcut using AutoHotkey?
Here is what I've tried so far:
- Win+K - This worked in Windows 10, but unfortunately in Windows 11 it opens the Cast menu instead.
- Run command
ms-settings:bluetooth- This command opens the full Bluetooth settings menu instead of the quick connect menu. - Run command
ms-settings:connecteddevices- Same as above. - Run command
bthprops.cpl- Same as above.

I've found a way inspired by other answers on this forum and others!
I've created a custom shortcut that opens the select bt device dialog which is opened when using the action center
- Install Powertoys. It's an official package from Microsoft with a suite of powerful tools to improve windows.
- Setup a new Shortcut in the Keyboard manager plugin.
- Set a shortcut (I use
Win+Kas this was the command in Win10) - Set Action:
Open URI, Path/URI:ms-actioncenter:controlcenter/bluetooth - Save
Now you can open the bluetooth quicksettings using Win + K
