About this tag
The bing widget tag covers Microsoft's integration of a one-click internet speed test into the Windows 11 taskbar network flyout. This feature, currently tested in Insider preview builds, opens Bing's web-based speed test widget in the default browser rather than running a native measurement. Discussions highlight the convenience of accessing speed tests directly from the taskbar's Wi-Fi quick settings, while noting the reliance on an online service. The tag also touches on related Windows 11 updates, including background AI tasks and Settings page refreshes, as part of Microsoft's broader shift toward cloud-backed diagnostics.
