The Windows Mobility Center is available on Windows 11/10 laptops and not on a desktop computer. If you want to use it on your desktop, then we will show you how you can enable and use the Windows Mobility Center on Windows 11/10 desktop computer as well.
If you try to open Windows Mobility Center on your desktop, you will see the following message:

You might need the Windows Mobility Center on your regular desktop computer. For example, let’s assume that you are trying to access the Windows Presentation Settings quickly on a computer. Now, if you have the Windows Mobility Center enabled on your desktop computer, you can access the Presentation Settings easily. Similarly, this in-built panel contains other options that are equally important.
Before getting started, it is recommended to backup Registry and create a System Restore Point.
