Windows 10: I'm being charged $6 monthly but when I investigate the charge, the dashboard says I have...

As stated in the title,I am looking up the card referenced in the bank statement but on the Microsoft payment options page there is no payment posted in the last 60 days. I had not noticed this charge being that it is small, the dent was never really noticed. Today, I looked at my statement and realized i've been charged this amount for a total of $66.00. I need this fixed.Assistance would be appreciated.

Surface pro 6 does not charge beyond 68%

Hi everyone,

For the last 6 months or so, I have noticed that y Surface Pro 6 (with Windows 10 Enterprise) is not charging beyond 68%. Its says 'plugged in' but does not charge the battery. It also gets very hot, feels like the battery is resisting
the charge or something. The fan is also turned on.

I have performed the following actions:

• Removed the Microsoft ACPI battery and reinstalled it
• Changed the surface charger to a colleagues' one

Both did not help.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Warm Regards,

Shiv
