Battery Usage isn't tracked in the Settings app
When I view the Power & battery page in the Settings app of Windows 11 all the battery usage metrics report 0% and no apps are reported using the battery. Does anyone know why this is? I've only had the laptop plugged in pretty much the whole time, but on another one running the same version of Windows 11 there isn't such problem and the usage meter works regardless.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Open Device Manager and look at Batteries. For Windows to be able to show the battery statistics in Settings you need both the MS adapter and battery devices installed and working
If you’ve had your laptop plugged in most of the time, Windows might just not have enough data to report on battery usage. It typically tracks usage when the battery is discharging.
