Windows 10: Why new laptop battery showing X mark in Taskbar

Today I replaced a new battery in Acer Aspire E5-576 laptop once the icon in the taskbar did not appear then it did which showed battery is charging. Surprisingly with in 35 minutes it charged. Then I noticed in the taskbar the battery icon is showing "X" mark. After that I re-install Battery drivers, unplugged everything kept pressing "ON" button to drain power. Even I opened laptop and re-inserted the battery but the "X" is still showing in the taskbar.Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.Thank you.

Battery icon is is not showing on taskbar

Hello,

This is Sudha Independent Advisor and user like you. Please follow below steps to solve your issue

To check the status of your battery, select the battery icon in the taskbar. To add the battery icon to the taskbar:

- 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.
