Microsoft is quietly testing a new, built‑in internet speed test for Windows 11 that places a one‑click network diagnostic into the taskbar’s system tray and Wi‑Fi quick settings — but the convenience comes with important trade‑offs: the shortcut opens Bing’s web‑based speed tester rather than...
Windows 11 now surfaces a one‑click path to a network speed test directly from the taskbar — but for now it’s a shortcut to Bing’s web tool (which itself delegates to Speedtest by Ookla), and it’s only available to Windows Insiders in preview channels.

I use Microsoft Edge quite a bit and I like it. I also have Firefox installed and also like that browser. But I tend to lean more towards Edge. I often read that Edge isn't considered a private browser, although it is secure.

I'm running Windows 11 Home on a Gateway notebook. I'm wondering if WD provides protection when using a browser other than MS Edge. I'd rather not have to install another AV if WD is providing sufficient protection. Thanks for your help, folks. Ed
On Edge, if I make a bookmark of Outlook web, and then use it, there is error 500, with a blank page. PC updated, browser updated, virus scan clean, no ad blockers active on that page. I do not want to use Chrome browser, or Outlook desktop. Thanx.
Windows automatically open a folder containing HTML files via the default browser on every boot. I didn't created that folder it appears by itself. I don't know where it comes from.
I tried to figure out from where it comes but I can't.
Need to stop it. Can anyone help me please?
