1. Open your System Preferences by going to the Apple icon in the menu bar or using the icon in the Dock.

2. Choose Mission Control.

3. Select Hot Corners at the bottom.

4. You’ll likely see dashes for each hot corner except for the bottom-right corner. By default, that corner opens Quick Note since the release of macOS Monterey. But you can change it if you like.

5. Use the drop-down menu for each corner you want to activate and select the action. You have ten different options: opening Mission Control or the Notification Center, starting or disabling the screen saver, or locking your screen.

6. If you want to include a modifier key, hold that key as you make your selection. You can use Command, Option, Control, Shift, or a combination of these keys. You’ll then see the key(s) displayed next to the action for that hot corner.

7. For any corner you don’t want to activate, keep or select the dash.

   When you finish, select OK. You can then close the System Preferences and try your hot corners.
