Windows 10 Battery with Yellow Triangle Warning Symbol on new laptop

[_Tom_F_]

Hi there,


I searched here and elsewhere and found a few leads, but no answer that I could directly translate to what I am seeing here. Hope I haven't overlooked something.


I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on the battery symbol in the notification tray of Windows 10 Home.


The laptop is brand new, ex factory, just set it up and had this symbol from day one. I ran the in built battery diagnostics from Acer which came up with "good" condition for the battery. There is no further explanation by windows what migh be the issue. Only the exclamation mark. The laptop behaves as expected, no battery issues, no charging issues.


There is no info when hovering over that symbol, all that I get with all the right and left clicks is the battery settings an power plan options. No hint there about anything causing any issues.


I really don't see any problems with this new machine, just this warning symbol makes me wonder. Does anyone have a clue what this means, and how to get rid of it?


Thanks a lot!
