How do you get the battery power icon on the status bar? It is there randomly. Cannot find a way to put it on the bar.

Battery status not showing up

I have the same issue as the original poster and I followed the same steps given. However, this did not fix the problem. I still have no battery status icon on the taskbar and I cannot turn it on as it is a greyed out option. Are there any other steps
that can be taken to turn the batter icon back on?

Hi Richard,

To help you better provide us with the information below.

• Which build is currently running on your computer?
• Did you make any recent software changes on your computer?

As an initial step I would suggest you Right click on Desktop Window> View > Check Shows desktop icons, check if the desktop icons are back on desktop.

Check if the Icons or files are available in the My Documents>Desktop folder, check if icons are visible in the folder.

Get back to us with the updated status of the issue for further assistance.
