Open “Device Manager” and under “View” check “Show hidden devices”.
If you find unknown device, then right click to uninstall and reboot to check.

Lenovo Vantage PC running on Windows 10 Home.
W10 notification area is suddenly showing a sideways battery icon, saying "No battery detected". So I went to Device Manager but "Batteries" is no longer in the device list.
However, Lenovo's diagnostic software can still see the battery, reporting it just now as 80% charged. The battery is also shown working as normal when I run "powercfg /energy" from an elevated CMD prompt.
How can I get the battery back into Device Manager?
