Microsoft is enhancing the Windows 11 experience with a new feature that allows users to conduct network speed tests directly from their taskbar. The tool, part of an upcoming update for Windows 11 Insiders in the Release Preview Channel, enables users to conveniently check their connection speed by right-clicking on the network icon in the system tray. This opens a speed test option in the default browser, where users can assess the speed of their Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or cellular data connections.
In addition to the network speed test, Microsoft is introducing other updates, including a new camera settings option in the Settings menu, allowing users to adjust the pan and tilt for supported cameras. Windows 11 users can also look forward to new emoji additions, a comprehensive Widget settings menu, and the option to set .webp files as desktop backgrounds.
The latest update is accessible through the Release Preview Channel, now available for Windows 11 versions 24H2 (Build 26100) and 25H2 (Build 26200).
