    I recently was worried about my laptop staying on a low percentage and thought it was normal - up until it stayed there for a day. I ran a battery report via command prompt and looked through it, everything seemed normal although it was somewhat losing power despite being on a charger. Windows error or hardware?

    How to show battery percentage on battery icon in task bar without hovering or clicking?

    I want to show battery percentage on battery icon in the task bar.

    Currently it appears this way.

    I cannot see charge left percentage unless I click or hover over the icon.

    Why is the Battery Time Remaining Not Showing Up

    Whenever I hover over the battery icon, it only shows the battery percentage remaining, it doesn't also show the battery time remaining. When I click on the battery icon, it still doesn't show the battery time remaining. I even clicked on the battery settings,
    but it didn't show the battery time remaining. Why is this Happening? [I have an HP Laptop 15]

    Battery icon on laptop does not show

    Thank you for the update. If the option is greyed out, let's try another workaround. Follow the steps below to use gpedit.msc to show battery icon:

    • On the search bar, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
    • In the Local Group Policy Editor window, in the left navigation pane, expand
      User Configuration > Administrative Templates >
      Start Menu and Taskbar.
    • Find the Remove the battery meter option from the list on the right side of the window, then right-click on the option, and select
      Edit.
    • On the pop-up window, select Disabled and click OK to display the battery meter icon in the notification area on the taskbar.

    Note: If you're using Windows 10 Home edition, the above option will not work as Local Group Policy Editor is not available for this Windows version.

    If the above steps did not resolve the issue, try this instead:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Under the Action tab, select Scan for hardware changes.
    • Expand the Batteries section.
    • Verify the AC adapter and ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery are displayed.
    • Right-click on these devices then select Disable.
    • Right-click on these devices again then select Enable.
    • Restart your laptop and check if the battery icon is now displayed on the taskbar.
