Small Icon on bottom right of screen no longer sees a battery installed. When I use the Lenovo Power Monitoring Tools it says the battery is fine. It's just Windows that can't see the battery, and it just happened all of a sudden. I just powered up yesterday morning and the problem was there. No new installations or changes.

Tried something new this morning. Removed the battery before powering up on AC adapter. Once unit was up for about 5 minutes, I reinserted the battery. The icon immediately appeared and the battery and icon are now charging.
