Battery status not showing up

I have the same issue as the original poster and I followed the same steps given. However, this did not fix the problem. I still have no battery status icon on the taskbar and I cannot turn it on as it is a greyed out option. Are there any other steps
that can be taken to turn the batter icon back on?
