I uninstalled Microsoft AC Adapter Driver by accident, PC won't start.


Thank you, gave it a try following your tips but no change, still does not power up.

My power source never had a loose contact problem before. Really, all these problems started after deleting the AC adapter.

Any other suggestions?

Try this:

Disconnect all power sources - AC and battery
Press and hold the power button for 2 full minutes

Connect AC power only

You should be able to power up. Windows might not start because of the accidental deletion of the AC adapter driver
but the machine should at least boot to firmware (BIOS)

If the box won't start at all, then I suspect a bad AC adapter - probably causing the charging issue as well.
HP has a recall on some adapters - the power cord is replaced free of charge on ones that qualify.
that's besides the point though

It's also possible that the AC connector on the board is faulty - not much you can do about that.
An easy connector test is to very gently wiggle it.

See where you get with those suggestions

Hi Andy,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I suggest you to update the drivers for AC power adapter from
Device Manager and check if it helps.
