Windows 10: Laptop fully charges then unplugs

When I plug in my laptop it fully charges, and then unplugs itself.The cord is still connected, but the computer doesn't pick it up until the battery goes down a little. Then it begins charging again.I'm running windows 10. Any idea what's going on here?I've tried googling my problem, but I can't find other people with this exact issue.I've checked my drivers, and I've even done a factory reset. No dice :

Toshiba Laptop Not Holding Battery Charge

You have to find out if the battery is loosing charge by it's own or if it's the computer that is discharging the battery.
- fully charge existing battery and remove it. Next day install it back and see whether its still fully charged.
