Windows 11 is getting Battery Percentage value in the tray, here’s how it enable it

The recently released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2992 (Dev channel) includes a hidden Battery Percentage feature. It adds a text value of the battery power that will appear next to the battery icon on the taskbar. Earlier, you could only find the value by hovering with you mouse pointer over the battery icon on the taskbar. Now it can be enabled to be visible all the time.

The change is currently disabled by default, but you can manually enable it using the ViveTool app. The feature will likely roll out to all Insiders in the coming weeks.

1. Get the ViVeTool app from GitHub.
2. Extract the files from the downloaded archive to the C:\ViVeTool folder.
