Repair the battery symbol in Windows 10

See what to do if the yellow warning sign with the exclamation mark appears on the icon refuses to turn off after it is fully charged.

Usually when the your computer running Windows 10 has a low battery charge, it informs you with a message. It also shows you a warning symbol, which is a yellow one with an exclamation mark above the battery icon. As soon as you plug in your laptop charger, this warning symbol is immediately replaced with the charging icon.

However, in case the warning symbol persists even after the and the completion of charging 100% of the battery, then something is probably wrong. In this article, we will see how you can resolve this issue.

FIX 1 - Disconnect external monitor from USB-C port
Experience has shown that if you have an external monitor connected to the USB-C port of your system, then this problem can occur. The reason is to export more power to the external monitor than the USB-C port can offer. Therefore, if you belong to this case, ie if you have an external monitor connected to a USB-C port and the triangular symbol on the battery does not go out, simply remove the external monitor from the USB-C port and the problem will be resolved.

REPAIR 2 - All other cases
Do one of the following, in the order in which they are listed:
1. Take it for granted. Turn off your computer and unplug it. Then remove the battery, if possible. If your battery does not come out, go to the next solution. Reconnect the power, and then restart your computer. Finally reconnect your battery.

2. Run the troubleshooting tool from Settings> Update & Security> Troubleshooting. The troubleshooting tool is able to detect and correct battery problems. See the section "Energy".

3. Go to Device Manager, right-click on your battery and select “Uninstall Device”. Then click on Action > Scan for hardware changes. Follow the Windows 10 instructions to reinstall your battery driver.

4. Charge 100% of your battery, then fully discharge it, using something that consumes a lot of energy, such as watching a movie and finally recharging it 100%. All of this can reset the correct symbol on the battery icon.

5. Try resetting the default power plan. Go to Settings app > System > Power & sleep > κάντε κλικ στην “Πρόσθετες ρυθμίσεις ενέργειας” για να ανοίξετε τις Επιλογές ενέργειας. Μετά κάντε κλικ στην επιλογή “Αλλαγή ρυθμίσεων Σχεδίου” για το σχέδιο που έχετε επιλέξει και κάντε κλικ στην επιλογή “Επαναφορά προεπιλεγμένων ρυθμίσεων για αυτό το σχέδιο”.

We hope that with the above you can correct the problem, if it happens to you. If you have an additional solution, mention it in the comments section of the article.
