Hello,

This is Sudha Independent Advisor and user like you. Please follow below steps to solve your issue

To check the status of your battery, select the battery icon in the taskbar. To add the battery icon to the taskbar:

- Select Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar, and then scroll down to the notification area. Choose Select which icons appear on the taskbar, and then turn on the Power toggle. (Note: The Power toggle is not visible on a system such as a desktop PC
that doesn't use battery power.) If you still don't see the battery icon, select Show hidden icons on the taskbar, and then select the battery icon.

- On a device that uses battery power, if you select Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and the Power toggle is greyed out or not visible, in the search box on the taskbar, type device manager, and then select Device Manager in the list of results.
Under Batteries, right-click the battery for your device, select Disable, and select Yes. Wait a few seconds, and then right-click the battery and select Enable. Then restart your device.

-If you select Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and turn on the Power toggle, but the battery icon does not appear on the taskbar, in the search box on the taskbar, type task manager, and then select Task Manager in the list of results. On the Processes
tab under Name, right-click Explorer, and then select Restart.

Battery percentage visualisation on taskbar and reduced task bar.

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

To address the issue of displaying the battery percentage on the taskbar and reduced taskbar in Windows 11, there are several methods and tools available, although it appears that Windows 11 does not natively support this feature directly on the taskbar by default.

Methods to Display Battery Percentage on Windows 11

1. Using Taskbar Settings:
   
   • Open the Settings menu by clicking the Start button and selecting Settings.
     
   • Navigate to System > Power & sleep.
     
   • Scroll down to the Battery section and toggle the switch next to Battery percentage to enable it.
     
2. Using Battery Icon Settings:
   
   • Click on the battery icon in the taskbar.
     
   • Select More Power Options.
     
   • Enable the Show Battery Percentage option.
     
3. Third-Party Applications:
   
   • Battery Percentage Icon App: Available on the Microsoft Store, this app can be installed to display the battery percentage on the taskbar. After installation, it will show the battery percentage next to the battery icon
     
   • Battery Tracker: This app not only shows the battery percentage but also provides notifications when the battery life is lower/higher than a threshold or fully charged. It can be installed from GitHub or the Microsoft Store.
     

Additional Tips

• Reduced Taskbar in Tablet Mode: Unfortunately, there is no native setting in Windows 11 to display the battery percentage on the reduced taskbar in tablet mode. Using third-party applications like the Battery Percentage Icon App might be the best workaround for this scenario.
  
• Feedback to Microsoft: If you find that these solutions do not meet your needs, you can suggest this feature to Microsoft through the Feedback Hub app. This app allows users to send suggestions and report issues directly to Microsoft.
  

While Windows 11 does not natively support displaying the battery percentage directly on the taskbar by default, there are several methods and third-party applications available to achieve this functionality. For users who need this feature in tablet mode or on the reduced taskbar, third-party apps like the Battery Percentage Icon App or Battery Tracker are recommended solutions. Additionally, providing feedback to Microsoft through the Feedback Hub can help advocate for this feature in future updates.
