2. Next, click on ” Network and Internet“.

6. Here, find the IPv4 Address. That is the local IP address of your Windows 11 PC.

Method 3: find your IP address through Task Manager in Windows 11

That’s it. Now you can use this IP address for whatever you need on your Windows 11 computer.

Method 4: check your IP address using command prompt

Another easy way to check the IP address in Windows 11 is through the command prompt. To do that, follow the steps below:

1. Press the Windows key once and type ” cmd” in the Windows search bar. Now, open “Command Prompt”.
