  1. Battery life percentage appears on screen when pressing keys during SHUTDOWN state


    Is it normal that the battery status (%) is appearing when pressing keys - even when the laptop is completely shutdown? The screen will turn off after a few seconds, however, I believe the battery power is still consumed during shutdown.

    I have Windows 10 in my Lenovo 330s. Just new, just have it for less than 2 weeks. Thanks

    :)

    how to show battery percentage

    I've been searching and looking at the settings. Isn't there a way to show the battery percentage on the status bar at the top of the screen? Seems obvious this should be present but I can't find it.

    Here's what I found in a search - a very old request - https://windowsphone.uservoice.com/.../3543458-battery-percentage-at-the-status-bar

    Here's what I mean - In the picture below, you see my home screen. The battery percentage is not shown. I see a somewhat descriptive icon of a bettery, but would like to see the percentage.

    In order to see percentage, I have to actively swipe down as in the picture below -

    By comparison, here's the home screen on my older Android-based screen. You can see the percentage of the battery next to the icon.

    I'm assuming iOS does this also -

    Ideas?

    TIA!

  3. Battery drains during Sleep/Shutdown

    Hi Rahul,

    If you are experiencing battery drains during Sleep or Shutdown, we need to check your battery settings and perform a battery saving. There are two related categories that we need to visit. These are the Power & sleep. Follow the steps below:

    • Open the Action Center and click System.
    • Select Power & sleep.
    • Choose your desired time for Screen and Sleep.
    • Under Related settings, click Additional power settings.
    • We will be prompted to Power Options' control panel.
    • Select Change when the computer sleeps.
    • We need to customize our power plan, choose between Balanced (recommended) or
      Power Saver.

    Let's proceed with battery saving, battery saver feature is the same kind of tools that can be found in mobile phones and tablets. It is off by default and won't turn on if your device is charging. These are the steps:

    • Go to the Action Center and choose System.
    • Click Battery saver.
    • Select Battery saver settings. (Note: Battery saver is set to turn on at 20%, but you can set that higher or lower.)
    • Adjust the Battery saver to your desired percentage.

    Using these two processes will definitely improve your battery's life.

    Let us know if you have other concerns.

    battery icon and percentage not accurate

    I an using Windows 10 on a Tablet. When I press the \/ iron on the top bar to show the battery life, it shows a full battery. When I press the battery icon on that screen, it indicates my battery is at 99%. However, 1) the battery icon on that sub-screen
    shows some battery usage, and 2) the computer has been running for several hours, so I know I am well below 99%. Why are the two displays at variance, and how can I get the percentage to work properly again? Thank you,
