  1. Windows 11 - issues with charging. Not sure what to do.


    Hi whoever is reading this, I’ll start with basics, windows 11, HP pavilion gaming laptop. my laptop is a bit old probably 4-5 years last year I was very careless with it. As in I used to not shut it down constantly. Open and leave it on days end. Then I noticed 1. my laptop is loosing charging fast 2. I cannot use it when charging is plugged in as it slows my laptop down by 97% I bought a new charger at first. — huge time gap —Second phase - my laptop started behaving weirdly. Photos did not open, File explorer did not open or anything except for Google and settings. Even if I try to open
