Checkmark or checkbox icons is a Windows feature that allows users to quickly select multiple files and folders. In Windows 11, this feature is known as “Item Checkboxes”. When this feature is enabled on your computer, all icons on your desktop and files/folders in File Explorer will have check boxes.
This feature is convenient for touchscreen devices. Users of non-touch devices can also use this feature to select multiple items without holding down the CTRL key. When you move the mouse cursor over an icon, a check box appears. By clicking on it you can quickly select.
By default, “item checkboxes” are enabled on touchscreen devices and disabled on non-touch PCs. If you prefer this checkbox, you can allow it on a non-touchscreen computer, and if you don't want to use it on a touchscreen laptop, you can disable this feature.
How to add or remove checkboxes from icons in Windows 11 via command bar?
To enable or disable check boxes to select items in Windows 11, press the Windows E keys on the keyboard to open File Explorer.
Then, in the File Explorer window, click Show in the ribbon bar at the top.
In the context menu that appears, select “Show” then “Item checkboxes” to activate the selection.
In the future, if you want to disable the “Item Check Boxes” feature on your Windows 11 computer, repeat the steps above and uncheck the “Item Check Boxes” option.
