How to Restore a Missing Battery Icon on Windows 10’s Taskbar

Image
Windows 10 normally displays a battery icon in the notification area, also known as the system tray, when you’re using a laptop or tablet. This icon shows the current battery percentage. Here’s how to get it back if it vanishes. Your battery icon might still be in the notification area, but “hidden.” To look for it, click the up arrow to the left of your notification icons on the taskbar. Step 1 If you see the battery icon here (an area Microsoft calls the “notification area overflow pane”), simply drag and drop it back to the notification area on your taskbar. Step 2 If you don’t see the battery icon in the panel of hidden icons, right-click your taskbar and select “Taskbar Settings.” You can also head to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar instead. Step 3 Scroll down in the Settings window that appears and click “Turn system icons on or off” under Notification area. Step 4 Locate the “Power” icon in the list here and toggle it to “On” by clicking it. It will reappear on your t...

Use Your Android Device as a Second Monitor for Your Windows PC

Image
  If you need to do some hardcore multitasking on your   Windows   PC, a second monitor can go a long way towards getting things done. If you opt to "extend" your Windows desktop across a dual monitor setup, it's as if you have two computers side by side, with each display getting its own set of windows and programs that can be open simultaneously.

That's where Spacedesk comes into play: It's software that lets you easily turn any Android device into a second display for your Windows desktop. What's more, it works over Wi-Fi, meaning there's no messy wires, so you'll always be one tap away from having dual Windows monitors wherever you are.
