Answer 1

Hello, I'm Sheri a Microsoft Community Advisor. I'll be happy to assist you.

If your laptop refuses to charge the battery even though it acknowledges that it's plugged in, here's what you need to do:

1. Open the Device Manager by searching for it or right-clicking the Start button and selecting Device Manager.
2. Click Batteries on the list to expand it and you should see two items: Microsoft AC Adapter and Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.
3. Right-click on each item and choose Uninstall device. Yes, you are uninstalling your laptop's battery drivers, but don't worry because they will automatically be reinstalled when you restart your laptop.
4. Shut down your laptop.
5. Unplug the power cable from your laptop.
6. If your laptop has a removable battery, remove it.
7. Put the battery back in if you removed it.
8. Plug in your laptop.
9. Power on your laptop.
10. Click the battery icon in the system tray and you should see that your laptop is plugged in and charging.

Best wishes,
