Windows 10: Battery Icon gone from Taskbar on Win10, HP Envy Laptop

This happened sometime recently, a few weeks ago. The battery icon just simply disappeared from my taskbar, and the settings to make it appear do not change this. I looked at the following:


Under Settings->Battery, it says, "no notifications for battery life right now"
Under Settings->Taskbar->"Select which icons appear on the taskbar", "Power" is on (but displays a blank blue box, no icon)


I saw another forum answer that recommended going to Device Manager->Batteries and uninstalling all items under this. That sounds dangerous to me, not sure I feel comfortable doing this. What's there right now are these, both of which show "Device migrated" on 09-Feb-19, under "Events":


Microsoft AC Adapter

Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery


This is the approximate date when my icon disappeared, and is the date of my last Windows update. Please tell me it's okay to go ahead an uninstall these two adapters, or give me another solution.


Here are my system details:


Windows 10 Home Version 1809

OS build 17763.379

HP Envy x360 m6 Convertible

Intel i7-6500U CPU, x64

8 GB Ram


Thank you.

HP Envy Laptop Battery not charging after Windows 10 installation

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I suggest you to un-install and re-install battery drivers from Device manager and check. Follow the steps:

• Press Windows Key + X.
• Click on Device Manager.
• Expand Batteries and right click on Batteries ACPI and click on Un-install.
• Restart the computer and check.

If the issue persist, I suggest you to visit HP Envy website and check whether HP has released any firmware updates for Windows 10. If so, please go ahead and install them and check with the issue.

 

HP Laptop battery ?


I recently bought an: HP ENVY x360 Convertible - 15aq193ms - Laptop - with a: 3-cell, 43-Wh, 2.83-Ah, Li-ion battery - according the Manual.
I am not 100% sure on the battery, since I cannot find the exact model I have listed anywhere. I bought it at the local MS store.

I use this more as desktop than a laptop and am trying to find out if leaving it plugged in all the time will ruin the battery. Googling the situation gave me both "yes" and "no" answers - God Bless Google -

I had an older HP laptop, with a battery that snapped in/out and was told not to leave the battery in if it was plugged in all the time - I didn't and all is well

I have a Surface Pro 3 - which has been plugged in since I got it over 2 years ago - all is well with this too.

Now I'm back to the HP ENVY - anybody know if leaving it plugged in will screw up the battery?

 

HP Envy Laptop Battery not charging after Windows 10 installation

Hi Yaqub,

Thanks for the advise.

I have reinstalled the batteries ACPI in device manager about 5 times, but with no success.

Have also ran all updates, including bios updates from HP.

Finally did battery health check from Bios and using HP tool and both say the batter health is okay.

Is there anything else that can be done? I know another friend of mine who has had the same issue on his Sony vaio laptop after windows 10 upgrade.

Hope this can be resolved.

Thanks
