14 DAY TRIAL // If your device has already been updated to Windows 11 and the battery level sometimes shows a percentage that’s well above 100%, well, you’re not alone.
Several other users have come across the same weird glitch, with Windows 11 claiming that the battery level was substantially higher than 100 percent, just like their battery got super-powers.
Of course, this was inaccurate, and everything happened due to a bug in Windows 11, with Microsoft now delivering a fix in the latest preview build.
That’s right, Windows 11 build 22523, which is the latest preview build that Microsoft ships to users enrolled in the Windows Insider program, resolves this problem, though the fix is yet to roll out to production devices.
“The battery icon tooltip should no longer unexpectedly show a percent above 100,” Microsoft explains.
Additional fixes in this build
At the same time, Microsoft has also introduced fixes for several other problems in Windows 11, including for the Settings app.
Microsoft continues the transition from the classic Control Panel to Settings, so it’s critical for the company to make the new app work as smoothly as possible. This is why the most recent preview build comes with additional polishing for Settings.
“Settings content should no longer get truncated off the side of the window when making the Settings window small. Settings should no longer sporadically crash when opening comboboxes, which was impacting certain settings such as the ability to set custom click actions for the pen. Addressed an issue where the “Add a device” option in Bluetooth & Devices was silently crashing when trying to connect new Bluetooth devices. Added a number of keywords to make the Voice Access feature appear in settings search results,” Microsoft says.
The latest build can only be downloaded by users who are currently part of the Dev ring.
