A subtle change hidden inside a recent Windows 11 preview build surfaces a new, one‑click path to measure internet speed directly from the taskbar: a “Perform speed test” option now appears in the network icon’s context menu and in the Wi‑Fi quick settings, and selecting it launches the default...
Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 Insider Preview update, rolled out as KB5065782 to Dev and Beta channel testers on September 12, 2025, repurposes the SCOOBE (Second‑Chance Out‑of‑Box Experience) flow to display a full‑screen Microsoft 365 “needs attention” renewal prompt that occupies the display...
