Internet issues can quickly disrupt productivity and grind down your energy levels. Sometimes routing, packet loss, or DNS issues can get in the way even if your internet is technically still providing the right speeds. Of course, to test this out you can quickly head to websites like Ookla's Speedtest or Fast, but that might not be needed anymore. Microsoft is now working on implementing internet speed tests natively within Windows, according to prominent Windows insider phantomofearth.
The network icon in the system tray's context menu and the Wi-Fi quick settings page in Windows 11 are getting buttons to let you quickly run a network speed test. (Takes you to Bing to do the speed test.) pic.twitter.com/ZXcQvs5BP8September 13, 2025
