Laptop Battery drains to 0 after booting into windows

Hi Greg,

Today I found out it's those 3 drivers that are causing this issue. Yesterday I installed them and the drain is back.

Also, this issue occurred in some dell XPS series where the same drivers were the culprits.

Run the Power Troubleshooter:  How to run Power Troubleshooter in Windows 10 from the command line

See these fixes for Battery Not Charging:

Check the manufacturer's Support web page for your full model number to  see if there is a battery issue or recall for it.   Remember you have a full one year warranty for PC and parts replacement or repair so I'd use it if still available.  

Run the battery re-calibration here:  https://www.howtogeek.com/172271/how-to-calibrate-your-laptops-battery-for-accurate-battery-life-estimates/

Then generate a battery report and post it back here:  https://www.groovypost.com/howto/generate-battery-report-windows-10/

Right click Start to open Device Manager, under Battery choose the battery device, then Driver tab, then if available Roll Back the driver.  If not available, choose Uninstall Driver, restart PC to reinstall.

If you're going to do another Clean Install then make it a diagnostic install by setting System Restore points and then testing for the problem after install of each group of Updates, each driver, each app and any other changes - so you can try to isolate the problem.

Follow the gold standard Clean Install in this link which compiles the best possible Install of Windows which will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given, has zero reported problems, and is better than any amount of money could buy: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Make sure during the booted install to follow the illustrated steps to delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space to get it cleanest, then click Next to let it auto-create the needed partitions, format them and begin install - this makes it foolproof.

If nothing else helps then there is older version media here: https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php. Burn to DVD using WIndows Image Burner or create bootable flash using one of the options here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2376-create...

I hope this helps. Based on what you report back I can answer any questions and may have other steps to perform. If you'll wait to rate whether my post was helpful, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Hi Greg,

Good news, the issue is resolved. I cannot confirm but I think it was one of those Asus drivers which were causing the issue. 

Before doing the clean install I also did a windows defender full scan but nothing was detected. Also after this clean install, I see an increasein battery and system performance.

There were some drivers named intel management engine, intel thermal framework, intel rapid storage technology. What do these do?

because without them I am experiencing faster read/write speeds tested using crystaldiskmark.

(read speed on my HDD was 40 MB/s earlier now it's 126 MB/s)

Also, I created a system restore point and I will keep observing it to know exactly what drivers were causing this issue.

Thank you for your time.

Sounds clean, Garvit, Keep me posted on your progress as I will be here to help until the case is resolved.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your response. 

I deleted all my partitions and did a clean install. Now I will wait and test it for the day and will report back tomorrow.
