Hi,

I would suggest you to update the drivers for your hardware devices from the manufacturer’s website and check if it helps.

Download the drivers from the below website and try installing and check if it helps:

As a work around you can also try these steps:

2.Expand the Batteries category.

3.Under the Batteries category, right-click the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listing, and select Uninstall .

WARNING : Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.

4.On the Device Manager taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes .

Alternately, select Action > Scan for hardware changes .
