Battery icon in task bar

After the last Windows 10 up-date the battery icon was no longer showing on the task bar.

Following instructions from others I went to Device>Device Manager>clicked on the drop-down to batteries>disabled and re-enabled both AC Adaptor and ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery. The battery icon was then showing on the task bar.

After turning off the computer and then re-starting the next day, the battery icon is missing again and I have to repeat the process.

Surely, this is not an up-date. What has gone wrong, does anybody know?
