To create a "Local Area Network (LAN) connection status" in a Windows operating system, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Network and Sharing Center: Click on the network icon in the system tray (usually located in the lower right corner of the screen) or search for "Network and Sharing Center" in the Start menu.
2. View the LAN connection details: In the Network and Sharing Center, you will see the active network connections. Locate the LAN connection you want to check and click on its name. This will open a new window displaying the connection status.
3. Check the LAN connection status: In the LAN connection status window, you can see various details about the connection. These details may include the network type (e.g., "Ethernet"), connection speed, duration, signal strength, and the amount of data sent and received.
4. Refresh the connection status: If you want to update the connection status, you can click on the "Refresh" or "Update" button, usually located in the LAN connection status window. This will provide you with the most up-to-date information about the connection.

Please note that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the version of Windows you are using. However, the general process should be similar.
