What action can be taken to assess network connectivity status in Windows settings?

Viewing Internet status is the correct action to take when assessing network connectivity in Windows settings. This option prominently displays the current state of the network connection, such as whether the device is connected to a network, if there is an active Internet connection, and if there are any issues detected with connectivity. It provides users immediate feedback about their ability to access the Internet and helps them diagnose any potential connection problems.

The other options do not specifically address network connectivity. Testing printer connections focuses on the status of printer devices rather than network connectivity. Managing device settings typically involves configuring hardware and peripherals but does not provide information on network status. Adjusting display settings relates to screen resolution or orientation, which is unrelated to network connectivity. Thus, viewing Internet status directly targets the aspect of connectivity assessment that one needs to understand how well their device is connected to a network and the Internet.
