Windows 10: Power Icon Slider is Greyed Out?

I noticed my Taskbar Battery Icon is off and when I went to settings to turn it back on I found the Slider Greyed out. Is a restart the only way to fix it? This seems to happen more & more. Any reason?

:)

 

Power and volume icon greyed out

Did you go through steps #11 to #15 including Restart ?

I just used the Disable Power download and after restart, it gone.
I am now going to run the Enable Power Download to bring it back.

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. On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select Task Manager.
2. On the Processes tab, look for the Windows Explorer process and select it.

User Reply; Process Tab does not Inc an option to Select Windows Explorer

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?
