Battery power indicator

1. I am running on Windows 10 and the battery state indicator has disappeared from the Task Bar. I have tried to follow the advice from the community but all paths lead me to something blanked out, such as "personalise the Task Bar"

2. On a list of icons, the battery indicator has the same icon as the Wi-Fi network indicator, the one with the three circle quadrants.

Hi Mike,

There are several reasons why you are having issues charging the computer's battery. Having said that, we will be doing some troubleshooting steps to isolate the cause of this issue. Before we proceed, may we know the following:

• Any changes made on the computer prior to this concern?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• Can you send us a screenshot of the battery indicator?
  Note: Please do not include any personal information.
• Have you tried using a different power adapter? if so, did you experience the same issue?
• Have you tried connecting your power adapter to a different power outlet?

In the meantime, we suggest that you perform a power troubleshooter on the computer. Here's how:

• Right-click on the Start menu.
• Select Control Panel.
• Next to the View by: option, select Small icons.
• Go to Troubleshooting.
• Choose System and Security.

Usually when it states that it is not charging it is battery related. I would suggest getting a new battery. You can try to reset Windows power options to see if it will charge:

what you need to do:

Open the Device Manager by searching for it or right-clicking the Start button and selecting Device Manager.

Click Batteries on the list to expand it and you should see two items: Microsoft AC Adapter and Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.

Right-click on each item and choose Uninstall device. Yes, you are uninstalling your laptop's battery drivers, but don't worry because they will automatically be reinstalled when you restart your laptop.

Shut down your laptop.

Unplug the power cable from your laptop.

If your laptop has a removable battery, remove it

If your laptop does not have a removable battery. try skipping this step.

Put the battery back in if you removed it.

Plug in your laptop.

Power on your laptop.

Click the battery icon in the system tray and you should see that your laptop is plugged in and charging.

Please let me know if that helped.
