    Where has Battery % gone when mouse over icon


    Suddenly I am no longer able to mouse over the battery icon on lower task bar to see % estimate.
    This is important as the battery in this laptop is rubbish and often runs out if I'm not watchful
    (eg I can't play videos when reading news items on battery).

    How can I restore the mouse over to see % estimate?

    :)

    Meanwhile you can at least check the battery state is being monitored here:

    This might help:
    On a device that uses battery power, if you select Start Windows logo Start button > Settings Gear-shaped Settings icon > 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.

  3. Battery icon gone

    • Were there any changes made to your laptop prior to this issue like any recent updates or a newly installed software?
    I'm not sure when it happened exactly. I do know that it happened after restarting my laptop and I don't think there were any updates before that, but I could be wrong.

    • Have you tried to completely uninstall antivirus program? Enable Windows Defender instead and check if the issue is the
      same.
    I haven't tried uninstalling my antivirus program yet. I will try this tonight as I can't do it right now. I will tell asap if this affected my issue.

    • You mentioned that when you turn on and off the battery icon in Settings, the antivirus icon is affected. Can you explain that further? In what way the antivirus icon has been affected?
    This thing that exactly happens is that my battery icon is gone. When I try to disable and enable it, it uses the icon for McAfee. So my McAfee is affected like how my battery icon should be. As if it's replacing that icon for my battery icon.

    I hope this is enough information regarding the first and last question. There will be a follow-up tonight about the second question.
