An issue has been identified with the GPD WIN MAX 2 2025<\/a> HX 370 models where upgrading the AMD graphics drivers to a newer version, may in some cases, result in the battery icon no longer displaying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been a few different fixes previously that had worked for some users, and not for others. The below fix has been tested and replicated on a few different devices and we had success. Thanks to expormz on Reddit<\/a> for the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
