Hi Katrina,

The system icon may have encountered a corruption that caused this issue. For us to help you with this concern, we suggest that you try to restart the Windows Explorer process to refresh the taskbar icons. Kindly follow the steps below:

1. Click the Restart button at the bottom right corner of the Task Manager window.

User Reply; Therefore no way to select a Restart at the bottom Right

1. After the Windows Explorer process has been restarted, check the notification area on the taskbar and see if the battery icon is visible.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
