Windows 10: Battery status indicator has gone again!

Why is it that every time there's an update, the battery status disappears from the taskbar. We need this! Stop deleting the battery status indicator please! Has anyone else experienced this problem since the latest update? In my opinion, updates never seem to improve things, they always cause more trouble than they're worth - taking away good features and replacing them with pointless nuanced technical stuff in a bid to show that the developers are on top of the game. Arrrgh!

My N900 battery indicator has gone missing and can't seem to get it back onto the desktop.



Any suggestions?

battery indicator issue on my surface pro4

Hi,

I understand that you are having issues while charging your device and your battery indicator is not showing the percentage correctly. I'm here to help.

Share this information to assist you better.

• Are the charging connectors clean and free of damage?
• Is your adapter working? Is the light on the connector lit when it is plugged in?
• Does the charging status show a power plug next to the battery when it is charging?

We suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps:

• Press and hold the power button on your Surface for 30 seconds.
• Press and hold the volume-up button and the power button on your Surface at the same time for at least
  15 seconds, and then release both. The screen may flash the Surface logo, but continue holding the buttons down for at least
  15 seconds.
• After you release the buttons, wait 10 seconds.
• Press and release the power button on your Surface to turn it back on.

Hope this helps, let us know the status of the issue.
