Windows 10: can you keep power adap[ter plugged in with your battery connected too

I have my battery in my laptop and I also have the power adapter plugged in at the same time. There are mixed opinions on the subject whether it kills the battery or not . Some say once the battery reaches 100% the charging process shuts down. Battery doesn't kick in until power cord is removed. So the ac power adapter is the source of power not the battery. So flip a coin.

Plugged In, Not Charging

Sometimes depending on your Windows 10 Build, your battery will not charge to 100%, this extends the life of your battery . . . plug out the laptop, drain the battery for 10 - 15 minutes, plug it back in and see if it starts to charge the battery

If however, your battery is not charging at all in Windows 10, follow these steps to rectify this issue:

• Disconnect Power Supply
• Remove battery
• Connect Power Supply
• Turn on the laptop
• Control Panel - Device Manager
• Under the Batteries category, right-click all instances of Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery , and Uninstall
• Shutdown
• Disconnect Power Supply
• Insert battery
• Connect Power Supply
• Turn on the laptop

I Hope this Answers your Question!
