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.
