Kenyan Windows 11 users are finally receiving the revamped, colorful battery icon after a server-side rollout. Enabled on January 9, 2026, this update, part of the November 2025 KB5068861 release, provides dynamic visual cues for battery status, but the much-anticipated new Start menu is still absent.

• The new battery icon uses Green for charging, Orange for Energy Saver, Red for critical levels (below 6%), and White for standard use.
• Users can now enable a native battery percentage indicator in Settings > System > Power & battery.
• The update arrived in Kenya two months after its initial global release, highlighting a perceived geographical delay in Microsoft's controlled feature rollout strategy.
