Windows 10: Battery Power Indicator in Windows.

(Windows) Battery Power Indicator is showing an extremely large amount of time left, typically over 24 hours!!


With the Laptop built-in power indicator showing the expected 3 to 4 hours max and the %'ages left matching the Windows indicator.


This has happened in the last week.


How do I check/rectify this issue.


Thank you in anticipation.

1. I am running on Windows 10 and the battery state indicator has disappeared from the Task Bar. I have tried to follow the advice from the community but all paths lead me to something blanked out, such as "personalise the Task Bar"

2. On a list of icons, the battery indicator has the same icon as the Wi-Fi network indicator, the one with the three circle quadrants.
