I just had the problem where the battery icon is missing and the option to enable it in settings.

The steps I used to fix it:

 Download the registry information for the battery meter: http://www.tenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/30897d1439426839-battery-power-indicator-use-old-new-windows-10-a-use_new_power_battery_indicator.reg

 

Run the file and allow it to make changes to the registry. Next, going into Task Manager and restart Windows Explorer.

Click on the little arrow next to the icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, and drag the battery icon down in the taskbar again.

Tried that before the switch is gray and I can't change it

Is it set to on or off?
