when my laptop is unplugged, even if it has 100%, the battery saver is on. I switch it to off in settings, then it automatically resets to on, and I cant switch it off.

    Hi AndreiDaniel,

    I'm Stefano an Independent Advisor, here to help you.

    Have you tried to change battery saving settings?

    To do so:

    1. Press WINDOWS + i
    2. Click on "System"
    3. Click on "Power Supply"
    4. Click on "additional energy saving settings"
    5. Set to "High Performance"
    6. Try to turn off Battery savings.

    If that doesn't work, check your filesystem and let me know which result it gives you:

    1. Type "cmd" in windows search bar
    2. Right click on "Command Prompt"
    3. Select "Run as Administrator"
    4. Type "sfc /scannow" without quote and press ENTER

    Hi AndreiDaniel

    I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

    Please try these options one by one and check after each option.

    1. Troubleshoot Power

    Type troubleshoot in Cortana Search > Click Troubleshoot > Scroll down > Click Power > Run the troubleshooter > Follow on-screen direction.

    1. Restore Default for Power Settings

    Windows Key+i > System > Power & sleep > Click Additional power settings to open Power options > Click Change Plan Settings > Click Restore default settings for this plan

    1. Disable Fast Startup

    Reach to Power options as in previous step > Click Choose what the power buttons do > Click Change settings that are currently unavailable > Scroll down to Shutdown settings and uncheck Turn on fast startup > Click Save changes

    1. Action for Battery Drivers (Only for laptops)

    Windows Key+X > Device Manager > Expand Batteries > Right-click on first entry below

    Disable device > Wait for 10 to 20 seconds > Enable device (you will need to do this for all entries one by one)

    1. As a last resort, you should perform a Windows 10 repair upgrade (This is not an install of Windows). Repair upgrade fixes all Windows errors and retains all files, applications and settings. (You will not lose any data while backup is a good idea) Below is a good guide to perform repair upgrade
