PhantomofEarth on Twitter found it, cheekily hiding in the right-click context menu of the network icon. You can also get it in the networking sub-menu (as pictured above) as its own dedicated icon.

Both Windows 11 and Windows 10 have useful safeguarding features worth using, and Windows can theoretically track your lost laptop (but you'll need extra hardware for the best tracking experience). Here are the preemptive steps you should take to protect your laptop ASAP.
Check if your storage is encrypted
First things first, you have to make sure your laptop's internal storage is securely encrypted. There's a good chance it already is—disk encryption is enabled by default on many newer Windows laptops—but it might not be. If it isn't, you'll want to turn it on.
To check if your PC is encrypted, open the Start menu, search for "Device Encryption" or "BitLocker," then click Device encryption settings or Manage BitLocker, respectively. You'll see a different
