In the past, some manufacturers implemented their own add-ons to show the remaining percentage in the Taskbar, but now, Microsoft is adding this functionality natively into the system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The option is available with the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/build-26120-2992-kb5050083-windows-11\/\">Windows 11 build 26120.2992 (KB5050083)<\/a>.
