Windows 10: Keyboard language indicator disappears from taskbar

I need to switch between different languages/keyboard layouts regularly, so the language indicator in the taskbar is very convenient. For some weeks now, the keyboard language indicator no longer appears in the taskbar, if I've just started my computer or re-logged in. I could also use Windows + Space to change the input method, but neither does this combination work. In addition, to the left from the "show more" arrow in the taskbar, the language bar is not visible.

However, when I go to Typing -> Advanced keyboard settings and choose another input method from the list under "Override for default input method", the indicator appears and the Windows + Space methods also starts to work. In addition, the language bar becomes visible. In Language bar options, I have "Docked in the taskbar". What should I do to make either the language bar or the keyboard language indicator (or both) visible permanently?

Battery indicator disappeared from taskbar

The battery indicator disappeared from the taskbar after the last Win 10 update (version 1511). I tried the flwg:

"Press and hold or right-click an empty area on the taskbar, and then tap or click Properties. Under the
Taskbar tab, under Notification Area, click Customize... Tap or click
Turn system icons on or off. Under Behaviors, tap or click On in the drop-down list next to Power, and then tap or click OK."

The problem is "Power" appears to be "off" and cannot be switched to "on." The on/off switch just does not work. (All the others work with the exception of "location".)

Any suggestions for a solution to this issue?

Thank you.

Change the width of the "Language Indicator" in the taskbar


I came to conclusion that changing font of the taskbar requires editing of the msstyles file – it's too complicated for my purpose. So, I managed to decrease font only in the Language Indicator. I did the following steps:
Control Panel → Language → Advanced settings → check box "use the desktop language bar when it's available" → Options.
In the Language Bar tab select "Floating on Desktop".
After that I moved the Language Bar to the bottom of the screen in right corner and slided it to the left – it has docked itself in the taskbar:



Finally, I clicked Options (downhead arrow or right click) and unchecked "Help Button" and "Additional icons in taskbar". This is what I've got:

My language keyboard keeps disappearing from the desktop and/or taskbar.
