Even today, Windows 11 still doesn’t show the new emojis inside the Emoji (Win + .) and Clipboard panels. Now, with Windows 11 KB5077241, Microsoft is finally bringing those Emoji 16 additions to the Emoji panel, so you can search for them and insert them directly from the picker. Emoji 16 support in the Emoji panel is still rolling out, and it may not show up immediately after applying the update. * Windows 11 taskbar now has a built-in network speed test tool * Today’s update adds a new feature called “perform speed test,” which allows you to test your internet connection speed by opening Bing.com and downloading or uploading files to Microsoft’s partner Speedtest.’ A built-in network speed test tool is a great tool, but is it really ‘native’ when you’re redirected to Bing.com?
