About this tag
The power icon in Windows refers to the system tray icon that displays power status and provides access to shutdown, restart, and sleep options. On Windows 10, users have reported issues such as the power icon not showing notification emblems for updates, or the icon being missing from the login screen after the 1511 update. In Windows 7, the power icon may appear as a battery with an AC plug, used to access Windows Mobility Centre for Wi-Fi toggling. Troubleshooting topics include restoring missing power icons and resolving update errors that affect the icon's behavior.
