Is your Surface Laptop not showing the battery percentage in the taskbar? Don’t panic — it’s a common issue and usually easy to fix! Whether the battery icon disappeared after an update or the percentage simply isn’t visible, this guide walks you through quick and effective solutions to restore it in minutes.
Follow these simple steps to get your battery percentage back where it belongs! 💻⚡
- Right-click anywhere on your taskbar, go into Taskbar settings, scroll down to System tray icons and see if the battery toggle got turned off. If it did, just flip it back on and you should see it reappear straight away.
- If it’s already turned on but the icon still isn’t showing, don’t panic just yet. Look for a small upward arrow on the right side of your taskbar near the clock. Click that and see if your battery icon has just been hiding in there. If it has, you can drag it back out onto the main taskbar where it belongs.
- If that’s not it either, a quick restart of Windows Explorer often does the trick. Right-click your Start button, open Task Manager, find Windows Explorer in the list, right-click it and hit Restart.
- If required, open Command Prompt as Administrator and copy-paste the following command followed by pressing the Enter key:
powercfg /batteryreport
