    If the battery percentage icon is missing from the taskbar in Windows 11, you can check the following settings:

    1. Taskbar Settings: Right-click on the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings." Ensure that the battery icon is enabled in the taskbar corner overflow settings.
    2. System Settings: Go to Settings > System > Notifications & actions. Make sure that the battery icon is set to show in the taskbar.
    3. Power Settings: Check your power settings to ensure that the battery meter is not hidden. You can do this by navigating to Settings > System > Power & battery.
    4. Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows 11 is up to date, as updates may fix bugs related to the taskbar icons.
    5. Restart Explorer: Sometimes, restarting Windows Explorer can resolve display issues. You can do this through the Task Manager by finding "Windows Explorer," right-clicking it, and selecting "Restart."

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to check for any specific group policies or configurations that might be hiding the battery icon.

    • 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
