BatteryBar
для Windows
BatteryBar — маленький, но мощный датчик батареи ноутбука. Позволяет в режиме реального времени мониторить состояние батареи и отображать ее состоянии в системном трее Windows.
Вычисляет оставшееся время работы вашего ноутбука от батареи, отслеживая историю ее работы. Более того, программа покажет не только предположительное время работы, но и износ батареи, что позволит вовремя задуматься о ее замене.
Чем дольше вы пользуетесь программой, тем более точные результаты она выдает.
В Windows 11 Microsoft удалила функцию, позволяющую использовать панели инструментов (toolbars) на панели задач. Чтобы использовать BatteryBar в Windows 11, вы должны во время установки выбрать режим «Floating».

Накануне Microsoft выпустила новую инсайдерскую сборку Widows 11 версии 24H2 под номером 26120.2992 для канала Dev, которая принесла с собой несколько нововведений для устройств с маркировкой ПК Copilot+. Подробности об этом вы можете узнать из нашей статьи по этой ссылке.
Также в этой сборке появилась возможность вывести процент заряда аккумулятора устройства рядом со значком батареи на панели задач. Такая функция уже давно присутствует почти во всех существующих операционных системах, но в Windows она появляется только сейчас. До этого процент заряда можно было узнать из всплывающей подсказки, появляющейся при наведении курсора на иконку аккумулятора на панели задач.
На текущий момент изменение отключено по умолчанию, но вы можете вручную включить его с помощью утилиты ViveTool. Вероятно, функция станет доступна всем инсайдерам в ближайшие недели.
Благодарим за информацию пользователя phantomofearth.
Инструкция
- Скачайте утилиту ViVeTool по этой ссылке.
- Распакуйте скачанный архив в любое место на вашем компьютере (например, можно создать папку ViVeTool в корне диска C: и поместить файлы туда).
- Откройте командную строку от имени администратора (например, набрав CMD в поиске и выбрав соответствующий пункт).
- В командной строке перейдите в папку с ViVeTool с помощью команды
cd /d <путь к папке>, после чего нажмите Enter. Например:cd /d "C:\ViVeTool". - Введите команду
vivetool /enable /id:48822452,48433719и нажмите Enter. - Убедитесь, что в командной строке появилось сообщение «Successfully set feature configuration»
- Перезагрузите компьютер для применения изменений.
Для отключения функции воспользуйтесь командой:
vivetool /disable /id:48822452
In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Beta Channel, which is the Build 26120.3964.
Changes in Beta Channel builds and updates are documented in two buckets: new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned on the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available (via Settings > Windows Update*) and then new features, improvements, and fixes rolling out to everyone in the Beta Channel.
New AI Agent in Settings
With this update to Settings, you will be able to simply describe what you need help with like, “how to control my PC by voice” or “my mouse pointer is too small” and the agent will recommend the right steps you can take to address the issue. An agent uses AI on your PC to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks on your behalf. This experience is rolling out to Windows Insiders on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs with support for AMD- and Intel™-powered PCs coming soon. Please note that this experience works if your primary display language is set to English.
New Intelligent Text Actions in Click to Do
Microsoft is introducing more intelligent text actions to enhance your Click to Do experience even further on AMD and Intel™-powered Copilot+ PCs. Use WIN key + mouse-click or WIN + Q to select a text block and then drag to select the text that you want. You’ll see options to Summarize, Create a bulleted list, or to help you Rewrite your text, so it sounds more causal, more formal, or more polished.
Dynamic Lightning Change
Dynamic Lighting compatible devices can now be safely removed using the “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” taskbar icon.
New Frequently Asked Questions
Microsoft is making it easy to find answers to common questions about your PC and Windows 11 with a dedicated FAQs section on the Settings > System > About page, providing quick and helpful insights for using your PC all in one place. Whether you’re curious about system configuration, performance, or compatibility, this experience ensures you get the information you need for the frequently asked questions for those topics. We hope these FAQs will help you make informed decisions about your PC with ease.
New Taskbar Battery Icons
Improved icons show your battery status with just a quick glance. When your battery icon is green, your PC is charging and in a good state. Yellow means that your PC battery is in energy saving mode. Windows makes this change for you when your battery power is less than or equal to 20%. Red means battery power is low, and you must plug in your PC as soon as possible. We’re also introducing the ability to show your battery percentage next to the battery icon in the system tray which can be enabled via Settings > Power & battery and toggling on the “Battery Percentage” setting.
New Backup App

Assessing Battery Icon Issues
If you’re unable to locate the battery icon on your Windows 11 PC, the issue often lies within taskbar settings or system icon configurations. We’ll explore the proper checks and actions you can undertake to rectify this concern.
Check Taskbar Settings
The first step is to ensure the battery icon is enabled in taskbar settings. Sometimes the icon may inadvertently be toggled off or hidden within the overflow pane. Here’s how we can check:
- Right-click an empty space on the taskbar and select Taskbar settings.
- Scroll to Taskbar corner overflow to view icons not displayed on the taskbar.
- If the battery icon is listed here, drag it back onto the taskbar.
Verify Power Icon Status in System Icons
Sometimes the solution lies within the system icon settings, where the battery icon can be disabled. To check and potentially resolve, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Turn system icons on or off.
- Find and toggle the switch next to Power to ensure it’s turned on.
Reboot or Restart Your Windows 11 PC
Occasionally, a simple system restart can resolve temporary issues by refreshing the operating system. It’s a common and effective troubleshooting step we can’t overlook:
- Click on the Start menu.
- Select the Power button and choose Restart.
After the PC has rebooted, check the taskbar for the battery icon.
Advanced Troubleshooting Steps
When facing issues with the missing battery icon on Windows 11 laptops, advanced troubleshooting may be required. We will look into how to utilize Device Manager for driver issues, address system glitches through Windows Update, and review power settings and battery health, ensuring the proper function of power management on your system.
Use Device Manager for Battery Drivers
Refreshing Battery Drivers:
- Open Device Manager by searching in the Start menu or using the command “devmgmt.msc” in the Run dialog (Windows key + R).
- Expand the “Batteries” section.
- Right-click on “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery” and select “Uninstall device”.
- Right-click on “Microsoft AC Adapter” and select the same option.
- Restart your laptop. Windows 11 should automatically reinstall these drivers upon boot.
If the battery icon remains missing after a restart, try disabling then enabling the device or looking for an updated driver by right-clicking the battery items and selecting “Update driver”.
Windows Update and System Glitches
| Addressing System Glitches | Implementing Windows Update |
| System glitches can be ironed out by running a series of updates: | Navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. |
| Click on “Check for updates”. | |
| Install any pending updates. | Reboot your system post-update to ensure all changes take effect. |
Operating system updates can often remedy underlying problems that might cause system features, like the battery icon, to disappear.
Review Power Settings and Battery Health
For a deeper insight into your laptop’s power management and battery status, these commands can be quite revealing:
Checking Battery Health:
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type “powercfg /batteryreport” and press Enter.
- Access the generated “battery_report.html” in the specified directory to view your battery health.
This report can provide detailed information about your battery’s capacity and health over time. If you note significant decline, it may be time to consider a battery replacement. Additionally, you may verify your power settings to ensure nothing is misconfigured:
- Navigate to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
- Check the selected power plan and adjust settings if necessary.
Battery Management Best Practices
When it comes to our devices running Windows 11, effective battery management can significantly enhance battery life and overall experience. We’ll explore how to make the most of your device’s battery through optimization and understanding the technology that makes it tick.
Optimizing Battery Usage on Windows 11
First and foremost, managing battery life on a laptop involves adjusting power options. We can do so by navigating to ‘Settings’, then ‘System’, and finally ‘Power & battery’. Here, we tailor power plans that cater to our usage patterns, balancing performance with energy consumption—keeping an eye on the battery percentage can alert us to heavy drains in real-time.
Quick Tips:
- Use ‘Battery saver’ mode to extend battery life when your charge dips below a certain threshold.
- Adjust screen brightness to a comfortable level—it’s a major energy drainer.
- Turn off background apps via ‘Privacy & security’ settings to prevent unnecessary battery usage.
We also advise keeping your laptop’s software up to date. Updates often include enhancements that can positively affect battery longevity.
Understanding Your Battery’s Technological Aspects
The technology behind our devices’ batteries is complex. Knowing the type—whether it’s lithium-ion or lithium-polymer—helps us understand charging habits and potential decay. For instance, modern batteries have a finite number of charge cycles before their capacity starts to diminish.
| Battery Technology | Charge Cycle | Best Practices |
| Lithium-ion/Polymer | 300-500 full cycles | Avoid full discharge; charge periodically |
Battery technologies also include power management features that protect against overcharging. We need to be aware of these so we do not overburden the battery by keeping the laptop plugged in at full charge for prolonged periods. Instead, we use the device on battery power occasionally to keep the electrons flowing.
Managing heat is another best practice as high temperatures can degrade a battery’s performance and lifespan. Whenever possible, use your laptop on a hard, flat surface to ensure adequate airflow and cooling.
Implementing these strategies will not only prolong the lifespan of your laptop’s battery but will also enhance your daily experience by providing reliable power when and where you need it.
