My battery gauge ceased to show

My battery meter in my system tray/notification area ceased to show. My permissions are set to administrator (I'm the only person who uses this laptop) and I still cannot choose the option to 'power' in the properties of the notification area. Any advice would be helpful thank you!

Edit: The same thing with my volume

In fact, I found a solution for the problem somewhere else.

What fixed it for me was opening the Task Manager > ending the process "explorer.exe" > by clicking the application tab > by selecting 'New task' > typing in "explorer.exe" > right click on task bar > and then selecting the options market/volume

They kept gray out and sometimes they seem so I can check them and other times they would be gray. After completing the process I have just described, everything was available for me to click.

    This little yellow box said "some settings are managed by your system administrator.  If you don't have anyone given access administrator (full control) on your computer, then you will be wiser to do the following immediately:

    (1) create a new profile of admin only for yourself.

    (2) open the C:\Users folder and move your files to the new user folder.

    (3) remove the compromised administrator account.

    (4) run a full scan virus and security.

    I have a Pavilion dv6-1050us, and before the update of the bios as recommended by HP my charger would show in the taskbar as well as the battery is charging and it has been plugged in as well as the led at the front left side of the laptop.  Since the update of the bios load icon in the taskbar does not display and the led light that recharges the battery watch is no longer turns upward.  I know it's power goes to the battery because the battery shows 100% remaining and unload only after I unplug the power.  Is there a way to restore the bios to the previous version, even if the bios has been flashed by the HP program uses?

    My antivirus program will not scan weekly it is when the system thinks it is running on battery power.  I have to manually start the scan myself.

  • Battery Dell Inspiron N5110 shows 3 minutes but this last up to an hour.

    I use Dell Inspiron N5110. I use the original dell and charger battery. When the battery is fully charged. Just after 2 minutes it shows the battery. It decreases very quickly. When he reached up to 3 to 5 minutes of the end. but in fact it lasts almost an hour. but it keep say remaining 3 per cent or 5 per cent remaining, it is question of battery or do I need the bios update.

    Hi asupc,

    Thanks for posting.

    There are more experts available on the Forum of the laptop that can help with this question, however, I can try to answer here.

    Normal is between a year and 18 months. Here is some information about laptop batteries that you might find useful.

    If you are still under warranty, your battery will be covered by the warranty on the equipment you bought your computer. If this isn't the case, you can buy a new Dell, parts - People.com or Discount Electronics.  Be careful with the Chinese "knockoffs" as they would have been the cause of several fires.

    If you need assistance, please contact me private.  Thank you.

  • Album Art ceased to show Album mode only

    I discussed the digitization project of my collection of discs, tapes and music CD after learning how to acquire and preserve the sound I've been adding Album art. I was told that it was possible to get pictures on the Internet. Fake! 99.9% failure rate. I found a decent picture of hundreds of attempts. It seems that the identification code that is on each disk or tape is completely ignored, why?

    Not intimidated, I put my camera, my own photos and have been successfully installing them until a few weeks ago, when occurred two things.

    First Media player in Album mode ceased to display album art and simply lists all. Artist and Genre mode displays everything as usual.

    Second, when I tried to install a photo, I received a message saying that the album art could not be applied when the file has been used by another program, but I can't know what the "other program" is. I stopped and restarted my computer, checked my Clipboard Editor is ready with something appropriate to album art, started Media Player, said the file that requires the album art and again to get the message that the file is in use by another program.

    The only thing that's happened before this condition manifests itself, as far as I know, is a major upgrade to Windows 7.

    What should I do next?

  • BlackBerry & Smartphones Photos Contact names ceased to show (9650)

    Hello:

    Earlier, I added photos contact to all my BBerry Contacts.  It worked perfectly for quite a while.

    But the last 2 weeks (or more), when I get a call I get no resources and no contact photo.  Just the number, which, if I don't recognize, I'm going to ignore.

    (The reason why I have the names and photos is so I don't have to memorize numbers.  )

    The contact photos are always in my contacts list, so nothing happened to them.  And ss as much as I know I haven't added new applications.  So I'm puzzled as to why they would suddenly stop showing when I get a call.

    Anyone know how I can make them work properly?

    I covered this Council and google for an answer and not found anything.  Thank you very much in advance...

    Hello

    I would recommend to check if you have encryption enabled on the BlackBerry smartphone or press card. Go to the Options-Security Options. If it is enabled, disable it and try again then take out the battery.

    Thank you

  • Lenovo companion installation battery gauge App toolbar Windows 10?

    Hello

    I was out and play with a Thinkpad in a retail store and was pleasantly surprised to see that the battery meter toolbar was back!

    So, I searched and unearthed to discover this:

    https://support.Lenovo.com/BD/BN/documents/ht100495

    In the picture, she says that with the installation of the new application of companion there is an option to install the toolbar.

    I am on a Lenovo E431 with 10 Windows and tried to reinstall the application and do not have this option.

    If anyone has an idea on how to get this installed battery meter I would be very happy, as I prefer the tiny battery icon in windows.

    Thank you!

  • NB200 - battery indicator shows the life of the battery in percentage

    Hello
    Someone had this problem?

    My (Windows and also the PM from Toshiba) battery indicator does not show remaining battey in minute but life only in percentage.
    is this correct or there are some strage parameters in power setting menu?

    Thank you

    Mine did the same thing, it's just how it is in XP. But I think the Vista energy saver indicates the remaining time.

    I think you'll need to download a battery of Internet utility to display the remaining time.
