📎 AI Summary:
The original poster reports seeing a battery icon with a red 'x' on the lock screen of their custom Windows Technical Preview (and previously Windows 8.1), despite being on a desktop system. A respondent explains that the icon appears due to a known bug in the Windows 10 beta, which incorrectly displays battery status icons on desktops, and advises to ignore it as no fix is available. Overall, the thread addresses a false battery icon issue caused by a Windows bug during the preview phase.

The icon I'm talking about is the one to the right. It usually has a red 'x' over it. You would think this would have something to do with the computer's battery, but I have a desktop... Any information would be great guys thank you.
