  3. Why is the Battery Time Remaining Not Showing Up

    Hi Aun,

    Let's find options on how we can fix your battery remaining time concern. I'll need additional information in order to further isolate your concern. Please answer the following:

    1. When did it start to happen?
    2. Are you getting the same issue on a different user profile?
    3. What is the current build and version of your Windows 10?
    4. Have you made any changes on your computer prior to the issue?

    In the meantime, try the following suggestions:

    Suggestion 1: Enable Battery Remaining Time in
    BIOS.

    You need to contact your device manufacturer for the assistance on how to access and modify your BIOS settings.

    In your BIOS settings, you will see Battery Remaining Time under System Configuration. Enable it and then save and exit BIOS to take effect.

    Suggestion 2: Download and install and the latest device driver. Go to your device manufacturer's support webpage to check if there are available driver update for your device.

    Suggestion 3: Install all the sugested cumulative and security updates. Bugs from previous build can be fixed by installing updates.

    Suggestion 4: Some laptops will only show time remaining when charger is not connected. Check if charger is connected.

    Keep us posted.

    Windows 10 system icons not showing.

    Hi,

    The concern you have encountered with system icons may be due to a corrupted file or a misconfigured setting. In this case, we suggest that you go through the taskbar settings by simply followwing the steps below and see if it helps.



    • Right-click on an empty space in your desktop taskbar and select Taskbar settings.
    • Click Turn system icons on or off.
    • If you'd like to always show all icons, turn the slider window to On.
    • Reboot the PC for the changes to take effect.

    If the solution did not work, we suggest running System file check. By doing so, the task will scan for changed or misplaced files. If sfc discovers that a protected file has been overwritten or corrupted, it retrieves the correct version of the file folder,
    and then replaces the incorrect file. Kindly follow the steps provided by
    ZigZag3143 (MS -MVP)
    on this
    link
    to perform the task.

    If you require any further information, feel free to let us know.

    Regards
