Several features have already been reported hidden in the latest Windows 11 build 25247. However, the latest updates will still be provided. Users found that the update included a new VPN indicator in the notification area. This allows you to quickly check if your computer is connected to a VPN.
Note that the current state of the feature looks half-baked. The new VPN indicator (screenshot on the right) only appears when using a wired connection. It’s not an eyesore when using Wi-Fi. Another major limitation is the inability of the operating system to detect third-party his VPN applications. As such, accessing the VPN through a dedicated app does not change the network view.
To see the new indicator in action, you’ll need to manually configure her VPN connection in the Settings app. Some VPN services tell you how to connect using Windows’ built-in networking tools, so you’ll need to check the provider’s website for detailed instructions.
Unannounced features are often raw, unstable, or marginally unusable. You can also break other things. Back up important data before enabling hidden options in the ViveTool app. Avoiding pre-release software is the best way to keep your system as bug-free as possible.
