Does Windows10 Have a Built-in Setting to Show BAttery Percentage?

Hi all


On a laptop that I have, I see the BAttery icon in the Taskbar Tray,
and it gives you a rough idea of the battery level,
but I wish I could see a number, like you see on Mobile Phones, e.g. 40%.

Currently, the only way to get the percentage, is to hover with the mouse cursor on the battery icon.

Is there some setting that can add the Percentage Number near the battery icon?

If there isn't, then what program do you use to get that feature?
Is there maybe a program that can add several measures, like these:
1) Battery percentage
2) CPU Usage
3) RAM Usage
4) CPU Temperature
5) SSD Temperature


Thank you

Hello,

If it may help any, you could enable this below to see the battery percentage and remaining time like below from the battery notification icon on the taskbar.

By default, the percentage doesn't show unless you hover over or click on the battery icon, but the battery icon does show a bar on it that reduces as battery life reduces to help.

Yeah, you'll need some 3rd party or OEM software to show the battery percentage like that.

It sounds like you may have turned on to use small taskbar buttons below if you only see the time. Turning it off should sort it.

You're most welcome.

I take it a step further, add a second time zone clock, shows when hovering.

Hi spaceman5


I use this free BatteryBar app on 2 laptops. You can configure it to display % without a mouse-over.



At the bottom center, there's a link to the Free basic app. I've used it for years.
