Forgive me if I am being ignorant of some common facts since I am mostly a linux user but have to use windows 11 without choice.
One of the main things I always have is network monitor in the taskbar. In windows 7, i remembered using a tool called netspeed monitor and i tried the same in windows 11. But it seems that windows 11 has removed the option to add toolbars entirely. So after some searching, I installed a software called explorerpatch that adds this option, but it breaks the sound popup and battery popup and adds a separate button for control centre (which is actually nice) behind a settings icon which makes no sense to me.
Then after more searching i tried another tool called startallback, and it is almost everything i require, but it seems to be free trial that costs 5$. There is no way I am going to pay 5$ for such a basic feature that has been removed by MS for mysterious reasons.
Its really frustrating and lack of configurability, proper tools is screaming at me to wipe it off and install some other OS but that is not an option for me right now.
So is there some way I can get network speed to show in my taskbar without breaking the UI?
