Power Icon in the Windows 11 System Tray—Percentage of Remaining Battery Life Not Displayed
The battery icon in the lower-right corner of the taskbar does not display the remaining battery percentage; when you hover over it, it only shows an estimated remaining time of X hours and X minutes, so you cannot see the percentage value at a glance. The “Battery Percentage” option is enabled in Settings → System → Power & Battery, but the icon on the taskbar still does not display the percentage.

In Settings > System > Power & Battery, turn the “Show battery percentage” toggle off and then back on, and restart File Explorer.
