Windows 10: Laptop charging but the "plug" icon not showing.

I booted my laptop one day normally and put it in charging. I do it because i own a gaming laptop and it won't run above 30 fps. I think it is a battery saving feature when not plugged in. But now, when I plug it in charge, the "plug" icon on top of the battery symbol doesn't appear. I know the machine is charging because the in-built led lights up. I don't know what to do.

Things I have tried:

1. Changing the port through which I charge.
2. Restarted the laptop multiple times.
3. Checked if any pending Windows update (No update pending, the OS is up to date).
4. And I tried unplugging and re-plugging the connector.

My Computer is Plugged in but not Charging

My laptop computer is plugged in but not charging. The power supply will maintain the charge level (%), but not add to it. Removing and reinserting the battery allows the power supply to add to the % charge to 100%.

Steps performed:

• Turning the computer off and restarting it returns the computer to the Plugged in, Not Charging state.
  
• Removing the battery again allows one complete charge, after which the laptop would no longer charge again.
  
• I have used more than one power supply with the same condition.
  

To resolve the issue, I remove the battery, obtain a complete charge, and maintain this charge by always keeping the power supply plugged in.

What is the root of the problem?

 

Plugged in but battery does not charge

If the laptop works without the battery then charger is functioning correctly. Take a cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol on it (or some on-the-go alcohol swabs), and clean the metal contacts that connect your battery to your laptop.

Make sure to install all Windows important updates.
