Consumers running an up-to-date version of Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system (OS) may like to know that the software giant appears to have quietly added a new “Perform speed test<\/em>” option to the Taskbar, which tests the performance of your broadband internet connection.<\/p>\n

The new option, which was previously spotted in Windows Insider preview builds from last year and has now made its way into the wild via an optional update (KB5077241) for versions 24H2 and 25H2, typically appears when you right-click the Wi-Fi or Ethernet (network adapters) icon on the Taskbar (it’s also present in the Wi-Fi quick settings panel).<\/p>\n

However, this isn’t a fully-fledged built-in test, since clicking the option will simply load Microsoft’s Edge browser (or whatever browser you have set as the default) and bring up a speedtest page on Bing’s website. The test itself appears to be fairly basic (only provides download, upload speed and latency performance) and is based off Ookla’s popular Speedtest.net<\/strong> technology.<\/p>\n

Right below the speed test window there’s also a selection of quick access tools you can click for a Stopwatch, QR Code Generator, Typing Test or Timer. Not that you’ll need them, but they’re there too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
