Is the power icon missing on your computer? We’ve got solutions. When you check your computer and find the power icon missing, or have mysteriously disappeared, there are things you can do to resolve the issue.

Here are the tried solutions to help you get your power icon back again.

Power icon missing on Windows 10 [FIX]

1. Run a System File Checker scan

A System File Checker scan checks or scans all protected system files, and then replaces the incorrect versions, with the genuine, correct Microsoft versions.

Here’s how to do this:

Click Start

Go to the search field box and type CMD

Select Command Prompt

Right-click and select Run as Administrator

Type sfc/scannow

Press Enter

Restart your computer

If the power icon still isn’t showing, try the next solution.

2. Run DISM tool

If the issue of the power icon disappearing persists, run the DISM tool, or Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool.

The DISM tool helps fix Windows corruption errors when Windows Updates and service packs fail to install due to corruption errors, like if you have a damaged system file.

Here’s how to run the DISM command on your PC to check if it helps you when you can’t install Windows 10:

Click Start

In the search field box, type CMD

Click Command Prompt in the search results list

Type Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth and press Enter.

Type Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and hit Enter again.

And then Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Once the repair is complete, reboot your computer and check if the power icon comes back.

3. Check if Universal Plug and Play is enabled

Here’s how to resolve this:

Log off

Restart your computer

Open My Network Places

Check if UPnP enabled devices to exist in your network and if it is enabled

Opt to hide icons for networked UPnP

You can also uninstall UPnP from the Add/Remove Windows Components

4. Check your Local Computer Policy settings

Sometimes the power icon may disappear or be grayed out due to your computer’s Local Computer Policy settings.

To resolve this issue, do the following:

Right-click Start

Select Run, and type gpedit.msc

Click Ok or Press Enter

Click User Configuration

Select Administrative Templates

Click Start Menu and Taskbar

Double click Remove and Prevent Access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep and Hibernate commands

Select Non configured or Disabled

Close Group Policy window

Did this work for you? If not, try the next solution.

5. Check and modify the registry

You can also modify the registry, but you’d have to be careful because your computer may be damaged if you do this incorrectly. For added protection, back up the registry prior to modifying it. Restore it in case a problem occurs.

Take these steps to check and modify the registry:

Click Start

In the search field box, type regedit.exe

Press Enter

Grant permissions if prompted for administrator password or confirmation, or click Allow or Continue

Locate and click this registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\LocalSettings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

Go to the Details pane

Click IconStreams registry entry

Go to Edit menu > Click Delete > Click Yes

On the Details pane, click PastIconsStream registry entry

Go to Edit > Click Delete, then click Yes

Exit the Registry Editor

Restart Explorer.exe

Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC

Under Processes tab in Task Manager, click explorer.exe > Click End Process twice

Under File menu, click new Tasks (Run)

Type explorer, then click Ok

Exit Task Manager

Once the Explorer.exe restarts, right click on the clock, then select Customize Notifications Icons

Ensure the Power is set to Show icon and notifications

Click Turn system icons on or off

Ensure Power is set to On

Click Ok

Close the Control Panel
