    Battery/Power icon in taskbar not displaying / System Icon greyed out

    I recently upgraded my Gateway laptop to Windows 10 from Windows 7. The battery/power icon in the taskbar randomly does not display. I've verified that the Power setting in the Turn System Icons On or Off screen is set to On. However, when the icon does
    not display, this setting is greyed out, so I couldn't even toggle it on/off to see if that would make the icon appear. I've not found anything in particular that makes the icon appear (or disappear for that matter).

    My account is set up as an administrator, which I've read may have some control over accessing certain system icon settings. So I'm not sure why this setting is sometimes greyed out.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what may cause the battery/power icon to not display in the taskbar and/or why this system icon setting is greyed out?

    Thanks in advance.

    windows 10 power icon

    Hi ambermitchell2..

    Select Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar, and then scroll down to the notification area. Choose Select which icons appear on the taskbar, and then turn on the Power toggle. (Note: The Power toggle is not visible on a system such as a desktop PC that
    doesn't use battery power.) If you still don't see the battery icon, select Show hidden icons on the taskbar, and then select the battery icon.

    On a device that uses battery power, if you select Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and the Power toggle is greyed out or not visible, in the search box on the taskbar, type device manager, and then select Device Manager in the list of results.
    Under Batteries, right-click the battery for your device, select Disable, and select Yes. Wait a few seconds, and then right-click the battery and select Enable. Then restart your device.

    If you select Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and turn on the Power toggle, but the battery icon does not appear on the taskbar, in the search box on the taskbar, type task manager, and then select Task Manager in the list of results. On the Processes
    tab under Name, right-click Explorer, and then select Restart.
