Windows 11 24H2 Battery icon enhancement

[freddellmeister]

There are two distinct battery W11 24H2 actions which are missing with explorer patcher.

Left click, brings out "Control Center" and right click brings up "Power and Battery Settings". (red arrow)
Control Center Flyout has a battery icon that also summons "Power and Battery Settings". (purple arrow)

Now since you "support" 24H2 the battery icon has been left behind, in W10 mode, left click does nothing and right click brings the outadated power plan selector.

Power and Battery Setting allows for changing of the Power Mode, which is similar to W10 left click control in 23H2 and below.

1. I Sincerely hope you are able to introduce a W11 battery fly out option that retains this W11 functionality.
2. The current Control Center Flyout summing the wrong settings panel, just the basic one without battery and power setting. (see below)
   

Power and Battery Setting allows for changing of the Power Mode, which is similar to W10 left click control.

Right click on Battery in W10 mode brings the old power plan selector.

This is not useful on current laptops which have only one plan, "Balanced" where #Power Mode# determine Better Battery, Balance, Better Performance settings in the balanced plan.

The current W7 behavior cannot switch power mode.
The current W10 behavior cannot switch power mode with right click, and does not work on W11 24H2.

Hence we desperately need to mimic the W11 behavior which is "richer" than W7 and some users might prefer W11 behavior to W7 or W10,

This should be extremely simple to implement in explorer patcher and the current state is missing critical functionality that needs to be proiritied with broad support for 24H2.

Windows 11 doesn't have a battery flyout.

[freddellmeister]

I never in my post claimed that Windows 11 have a battery fly out. Battery flyout refers to the Explorer Patcher setting, which it does have.

W11 have distinct battery icon actions, important for the functionality since the EP W10 battery fly out is inoperative on 24H2.

The current behavior is broken and inconsistent for 24H2 as reported multiple times.

Clicking the EP Control Center battery icon setting cog, does not bring the Power and Battery Setting as in W11.
In W10 battery flyout setting:
Clicking the battery icon does not bring corresponding actions:
Left click, nothing happens, unlike W11
Right Click, a different panel is called, unlike W11.

check the link I put as it has this:

Microsoft changed the quick actions design on 25951+ which causes the battery flyout to crash/not open. The only alternative solution currently is to use the Windows 7 battery flyout instead.

1. Windows 7 Battery fly out does not change Power Mode, unlike Power and Battery Setting in stock W11.
2. W10 battery fly out is broken on W11 24H2, with no recourse, hence it should not default to W10 behavior on 24H2
3. There is a bug in the Control Center Battery Setting in Explorer Patcher which takes us to the wrong Setting Panel.

Therefore I posted an IDEA to simply introduce a stock W11 battery Icon action behavior as an option and make it default as the best course of action to resolve this situation, rather then defaulting to brokeness?

Other settings have W11 flyout setting option?
There is no Wifi flyout in W11, despite this you have an W11 Wifi flyout option in settings.?
There is no Speaker flyout in W11, despite this you have a W11 Speaker flyout option in settings.?

Therefore it does not seem to be productive to post sarcastic "there is no W11 battery fly out".
