📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the meaning of different battery icons in Windows, with the original poster asking about the distinctions between icons showing a lightning bolt, thunder, and a socket. A contributor suggests that a lightning bolt indicates charging, while an icon with just a plug signifies the device is plugged in but not necessarily charging. Another user explains that in Windows 10, these icons also reflect power plan settings: a lightning bolt represents a high-performance plan, whereas a different icon indicates a battery-saving plan, noting that Windows may automatically alter these plans, often replacing manufacturer-specific settings.

Solution
in Windows 10 the lightling bolt means your power plan is set to high performance
the first icon means your power plan was set to long lasting battery i.e, the maker only charages the batty from time to time
you will find Microsoft will auto remove the makers plan and repalce it with their own [no matter what you tell it to do] because Microsoft owns the service and likes to be able to turn things back on after you go to bed
