speed test launcher

About this tag
The speed test launcher tag covers Microsoft's addition of a one-click internet speed test shortcut to Windows 11 Insider builds. This feature places a "Perform speed test" button in the taskbar network flyout and Wi-Fi quick settings. However, the shortcut is not a native measurement tool; it launches Bing's web-based speed test in the default browser. Discussions highlight that while the launcher offers convenience, it relies on an online service rather than a local diagnostic. The tag also touches on related Insider preview changes, including Settings page refreshes and a new Background AI tasks area, indicating broader system updates alongside the speed test integration.
