What is the quickest way (in terms of necessary klicks or keystrokes from the empty desktop) of retrieving your own IP address in windows 10, specifically?

In Windows 7 and in case of wifi, you could get there rather quickly with wifi symbol task bar -> right click network -> status, but this possibility seems gone in Windows 10.

I seem forced to either use ipconfig (which is tedious if you have many interfaces e.g. from virtual machines) or open the network and sharing center which adds one window to the equation.

Is there a better, simpler way?

In other way at Windows 10, right click Start button, select Task Manager then select performance tab, select either Wi-Fi or Ethernet, you can see both IPv4 and IPv6 address.

I don't see a simpler way then pressing WIN+R followed by cmd and ipconfig /all | findstr IPv4...

You can reactivate the Desktop Gadgets and use the Gadget Network Meter to see the IP:

As an IMO inferior alternative to the other proposed solutions, there is an app in the Windows store called IP address. It just displays the internal and external IP address in a Windows 10 live tile.
