Windows 11 taskbar’s new Internet Speed Test tool is a shortcut to Bing.com, not a native feature

Microsoft is rolling out a new Internet speed test tool for Windows 11 that redirects users to Bing.com instead of offering a native feature. The tool, labeled "Perform speed test," sends users to Bing.com with the query 'internet speed test' when clicked. While the shortcut respects default browser settings, it lacks the functionality of a built-in speed test tool. Microsoft's decision to push web shortcuts rather than native features has been met with criticism, especially given its past success with a native speed test app for Windows 8.
