I have windows 8.1 x64.  I installed powerchute and my power icon is now missing.  I tried uninstalling powerchute but it did not uninstall properly.  I reinistalled and uninstalled and it seemed ok, but still no power icon on the task bar.

unfortunately I do not have a restore point to go back to.

any ideas?

Hi,

After installing PowerChute the power icon is replaced by the PowerChute icon and APC USB driver in enabled. The re-enable HID USB driver that will in turn enable Windows battery power options follow the instruction in Knowledge Base document FA159743

thanks.  that worked.  Another question, under customize icons, I still see still see apcsystray.exe.  If I un-installed powerchute, should this still be there?

Hi,

Just down load Reset Notification Area Icons Cache.bat from Notification Area Icons - Reset - Windows 7 Help Forums

and run the application. It will remove the notification.

Note: you must reboot you computer to complete the clean up.
