Windows 10 Battery details popup don't show estimated battery life

Hello Marc,

I have disabled Microsoft AC Adapter and Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery. Disabling the latter would make the battery icon disappear completely. Re-enabled the devices and the remaining time until empty still does not get shown in the flyout
(but gets displayed in the tooltip).

I retried the steps, now restarting explorer process before re-enabling the devices and then again after enabling them to make sure it loads properly, but the flyout still does not show the remaining time during discharge.

The only records in Event logs are messages mentioning "Active battery count change."- event Id 521 and "Power source change." - event Id 105.

Is there any way to enable additional debugging from explorer for flyouts?

 

Howto move the win10 notification flyout to another monitor?

Thanks... Here is a link to the most popular Action Center (i.e. notifications toast and flyout) positioning related feedback hub item....

allow us to move the notification toasts and notification area to any monitor we have enabled (on feedback hub)

 

Merry Christmas Dick. *Smile

I like the way the new flyout itemizes each file it's syncing, but yeah I do wish it could be smaller with a scroll bar for the itemized files.
