Overview of the New Network Speed Test
Microsoft is working on a bunch of new features for Windows 11, including a new network speed test that you can access from your taskbar.
The tool is bundled in an update rolling out to Windows 11 Insiders in the Release Preview Channel, allowing you to right-click the network icon in the system tray to access a speed test option that opens in your default browser.
Functionality and Testing
From there, you can check how fast your connection is over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or cellular data.
Microsoft first started testing this feature last year, and it could offer a convenient alternative to checking your connection speed by navigating to third-party websites.
