This tutorial will show you how to perform a Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Cellular network speed test in Windows 11.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.7922 (24H2) and 26200.7922 (25H2), and build 2800.1764 (26H1), Microsoft is gradually rolling out the ability to do built-in network speed test accessible from the taskbar. You can launch it via the Wi-Fi and Cellular Quick Settings pages or by right-clicking the network icon in the system tray. The tool opens in your default browser and supports testing Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Cellular connections. This feature helps assess network performance and supports troubleshooting.

Share your internet speed at: Show off your internet speed!

If you don't have the built-in Perform speed test feature available yet in the builds above and would like to test it now, then you can run the ViVeTool command below to enable it.

Any other ID required to get the speed test? I have this enabled on 4 machines but only 3 show the speed test. This one does not.
Any idea why?
