Microsoft paused the rollout of the redesigned battery indicator for Windows 11

Microsoft has paused the rollout of a redesigned battery indicator for Windows 11 to address unforeseen issues. The new indicator features an increased size for better readability, a color-coded system (green for charging, yellow for energy-saving mode, and red for low battery), and the ability to display the battery percentage next to the indicator. Users can disable the battery percentage option in Settings. The timeline for resuming the rollout is unclear, but users can access some features through third-party applications like the updated Battery Flyout.

The Windows 11 Release Preview channel update finally makes the battery indicator useful

Microsoft has introduced an enhanced battery indicator in the Windows 11 Release Preview build version 26100.3321. The new feature includes a color-coded system for battery status: a green icon indicates charging, a yellow icon signals energy-saving mode (activated at 20% battery or less), and a red icon alerts users to low battery levels. Users can also display the battery percentage in the system tray by enabling the “Battery Percentage” option in Settings > Power & battery. The update is being rolled out gradually, so not all users will see it immediately. Other features included in the rollout are file sharing via the taskbar and improvements to Windows Spotlight. Resources are available for users interested in the Windows Insider Program.
