battery not detected

Hi,

Does battery provide power to laptop?

Check Lenovo site for drivers' updates.

Download and run Lenovo Diagnostics for Windows. Tell the result.

If your Lenovo PC is not detecting the battery after a Windows 11 update, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check Battery Connection: Ensure that the battery is properly connected to the laptop. Sometimes, a loose connection can prevent the system from detecting the battery.
2. Update Drivers: Make sure that your battery drivers are up to date. You can do this by going to Device Manager, finding the battery section, and updating the drivers.
3. Power Cycle the Laptop: Shut down your laptop, disconnect the power adapter, and remove the battery. Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds. Reconnect the battery and power adapter, then turn on the laptop.
4. Check for Windows Updates: Sometimes, subsequent updates can resolve issues caused by previous ones. Ensure your system is fully updated.
5. Run Battery Troubleshooter: Windows has a built-in troubleshooter for battery issues. You can access this through Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Power.
6. Check BIOS Settings: If the battery is still not detected, check the BIOS settings to ensure that the battery is recognized there. If not, it may indicate a hardware issue.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult Lenovo support or consider the possibility of a faulty battery.
