Power system icon is gray turned off in Windows 8

I have Windows 8. But the notification of the power icon does not appear in the taskbar. I ' tried to fix it in the notification thus in the system icon portions but I can't because the possibility to activate the icon is grayed out offshore and does not allow me to change it.

I removed the battery and inserted back but still the same problem persists.

I found the answer to this in a forum. The solution is the following:

Go to Device Manager, click on battery uninstall "microsoft compatible ac adapter".

Take action. Click scan for new hardware.

It will find the battery and you will not even need to restart :-)

  • How to turn off all Windows sounds?

    I would like to work in a quiet environment.  So I would like to turn off all Windows sounds without going through each of them via Control Panel-> Sound and defining each and every one of them (no).  I don't want to rely on turn off the speakers I could forget often because I do not use the speakers every now and then to use practice.

    If you want to silence your system completely, you can simply click on the volume icon and then select Mute.

    Now, if you want only to silence the sounds of Windows, open the Control Panel (large or small icons) and select audio, select the sounds tab. Under his regime to No. soundschange, at the bottom click on apply then OK.

  • The screen of my laptop turns off when windows start. What is the cause and how can I fix it?

    Original title: computer failure

    the screen of my laptop turns off when windows start. What is the cause and how can I fix it. Thank you

    You have the screen image out to another monitor (one that is not plugged in fact). How you pass to the internal laptop display varies, but most cell phone companies make a combination of keys, such as Fn + F6 or something.  Looking for a symbol that looks like a monitor.  It is usually color coded and requires activation of a Fn key.

    Hello

    One met this problem, when the execution of my application and for a while, the device has been turned off automatically. I tested several times, always happens, happens on dperipherique (not on the Simulator), the so I can't debug.

    Thanks in advance.

    OK, it seems apparent to the bad battery. Even thoug, it showed there is 1/3 battery, when some app run (not my own application), it would be off.

    If I plug the charger while test, then no power offshore.

    Hello

    Try disabling the startup of Windows 10 hybrid - you can do the following.

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close windows open and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon in Start Menu, select (Admin) command prompt and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

    Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

    Shutdown /s /t 0

    Start the laptop and let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking if it is now shut down properly in the Start Menu.

    If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

  • Firewall turns off after Windows XP starts

    Hello

    I had the virus that has not seen the MS and MS Safty Scanner MS Security Essentials (MSE) malicious software removal (the value always protect).  It prevented the MSE to run.

    I downloaded Malwarebytes (no Scan option, no firewall or real-time).  He found the virus, the list is below shows what virus found where.  I uninstalled and installed a new MSE, he says that the machine is clean.

    Task bar indicators show my firewall consistantly goes off about 45 seconds after the start to the top, then turn about 30 seconds after the beginning upward.  (I note firewall controls are frozen before it turns off, it can be turned off from the start, just about 45 seconds for the PC to detect).

    The firewall configuration is does not (unknown error) while the firewall is disabled and setting off the power before.

    I'm running a fully updated MS Windows XP 32-bit, bridge 2005,.

    Now, I already tried a lot of things, including about six analyses of various companies.  I suspect there is still a compenent that nobody yet knows how to look.  Is there anyway to get MS to analyze my system to see what is out there, so that they can identify the virus, I think I have MSE reports, but there is no button to tell MS my computer is infected, so I think that there is no report.

    I'll probably have to find another XP operating system going offline, but my piece of bridge came not with all drives, so if there are unique drivers they may not work with windows 7 or later.

  • 23 Pallvion all-in-one: the Logo screen then turns off 10 Windows

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 awhile ogo and so far my computer was working fine. Then, I came across a virus if sort so I decided to simply reset my computer. When I tried to reset it, it would be stuck on 1%. So, I then turned my computer off and when I turned it on the logo appeared for about 15 seconds and then turns off. I almost tried everything. I t doesn't let me not reset again without a disc I don't have. And it says there is an error when I try to refresh the pc. I'm stuck and need help fast!

    I didn't say it was the only way, but the most logical.  There are other choices.  You can use the set of diskettes of recovery that you made when the computer was new.  You can use a borrowed from Windows 8 or 8.1 Windows installation disk, but it would be necessary to match the windows that came from HP that was installed.  You could buy or borrow a disc 10 Windows installation to run.  On this day and the social environment, it is rare that you do not find a friend to do the free Windows 10 disc for you, however.

    If these choices do not meet your approval, then I guess there is a problem.

    Mouse Wireless a usually - ON / OFF switch or the automatic stop function.

    And because this mouse is not to have ON / OFF switch, so it must have auto power-off function - and this function is independent of the question whether the radio is placed in the mouse, or even on your computer (plugged) attached.

    And sometimes - if the mouse goes into power saving mode - you must first press the button of the mouse to wake up.
