    Computer Says Battery is Low and Locks Itself, Even Though It's Fully Charged


    I was playing a game when my computer suddenly showed a blue screen saying "Your battery is running Low. You might want to plug in your PC." It's then followed by, "Locking..." not even a second later. I found it strange and decided to check if my charger was plugged in correctly, and it was. I turned my computer back on barely a minute later and the battery was fully charged. I decided to get back into the game, but within 2 minutes the game crashed once again. I tried once again but to no avail.I'm feeling very frustrated right now. So far I have tried restarting my computer, updating my dri

    Battery fully charged, but still charging


    My laptop has a battery light which tells me when my laptop is fully charged. When it is fully charged (it is green), Windows still says "05 minutes until fully charged" and then charges for another half hour. In the past the light has been reliable, so I believe that windows 10 is the issue. My laptop has also had significant issues with charging. I can confirm this with two batteries. I have an Asus K55VD which I haven't changed the battery plugs in or anything like that. What could my problem be? Here's what I've tried:

    -Disabling and re-enabling Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery (no change)
    -Turning power saving off in BIOS (did a bit of help with the charging problem)
    -Fixing the fan (turns out it wasn't spinning, which caused a range of issues. Helped the battery charge issue a bit)
    -Keeping the laptop shut down (didn't help)
    -Keeping it asleep (didn't help)
    -Keeping it on with the screen off (did help it charge)

    Yet I can't find a fix for the battery charging percentage and time issue. Any help would be appreciated.
