Microsoft is working on a small but practical improvement for Windows 11 laptop users. A new battery indicator is being tested in a preview build available to Windows Insider program members.
Always-On Battery Percentage
Currently, to view the exact remaining battery percentage on Windows 11, users need to either hover their mouse over the battery icon or click it. The upcoming update changes this, making the battery percentage visible at all times, without requiring any additional interaction.
A Small Change, Big Impact
While this update might seem minor to some, it will be a significant improvement for those who frequently rely on their laptops unplugged. Constantly monitoring battery levels is essential for avoiding unexpected shutdowns. The always-on display will let users know their battery levels without an extra action.
Availability
This change is currently limited to preview builds for Windows 11 Insiders, and the exact date of its wider rollout is yet to be announced. Be sure to keep an eye on updates coming to the Windows 11 to get your hand on the new feature.
