Windows 10: Battery not charging report on startup. unable to boot.

HP Pavilion laptop running Win 10Recently had an update to win 10. Now my laptop will not boot up. It is not detecting ACPI battery. Workaround is Advanced options 8 in boot up. Local computer shop has this same problem on its other Win 10 systems.Tried refreshing the battery driver. Tried brand new battery. Still reporting battery failure although battery indicator on desktop is working correctly.Also seen problem on ASUS laptop and two Dell Latitudes, so it is not a hardware problem. The latest Dec 2022 update to Win 10 seems to load an incorrect driver for hardware found in older m

Acer battery won't charge

What if the battery unremoveable? Should I disassemble and remove it? also there is a switch underneath the case and around the RAM slot that prevent the laptop to turn on when the case is open and without the charger. Is that the same as removing the battery? although when turned on with charger, the laptop still see the battery. Thanks

I took the report, the design capacity was 41.440 mWh but full charge capacity is now 25.752 mWh. Is it that bad? Before this happened I believe HWMonitor also show the same number with 38% Wear Level.
Here's the report file
