A few days ago I noticed that my battery icon on the task bar wasn't showing up, I tried to get it back but anything I looked up didn't help. I've now realised that my comupter doesn't think it's charging within the settings options but the orange charging light is on and the laptop is charging. It also is lasting the usual amount of hours before the low battery warning pops up. Is this a problem I should be worried about? And is it something I can fix by myself without having to have it checked out?
Side note it has reappeared a few times but always ends up disappearing again and I'm not sure why.
