  "textContent": "Microsoft is currently rolling out a new feature in Windows 11 that allows users to test their internet speeds directly from the taskbar.\n\nHowever, according to Windows Latest, the feature isn’t actually a built-in tool of the operating system. When you click the button, your default web browser opens and performs a Bing search for “internet speed test.”\n\nThe test itself is run via the Speedtest service from Ookla, with which Microsoft collaborates. In practice, the feature therefore functions as a shortcut to a web-based speed test, not a local tool in Windows.\n\nMicrosoft previously had a more advanced tool in Windows 8 where users could view details about their network and also save a history of tests performed. Alas, that’s not a thing in Windows 11.",
