    laptop occasionally thinks its not plugged in


    Sometimes when I'm using my laptop while its plugged in, it thinks it's not plugged in. For example, when I'm in the middle of playing Counter Strike the brightness goes up and down by itself because sometimes it thinks it's not plugged in. What's the fix for this?

    about plug-in or plug-out with AC adapter

    I have done all of the above and when I plug my computer in with a fully charged battery the screen still goes black - I am on Windows 10 and my computer is 3 days old - HP Pavillion Laptop - I know there has got to be an easy answer for this Problem - Like
    a setting somewhere, but I am used to using my computer plugged in at all times and I think that it is stupid that I have to take out the battery to do this??? Any more suggestions??? :-(

    I would like to note that step 20 comes up with no files. Perhaps this could be the source of the issues?

    Laptop Screen goes dark when I Plug in or plug out.

    Hi Haifz,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that your laptop screen goes black while plugging the charger.
    I will surely help you to fix this issue.

    To understand the issue better, let me know what is the model number of the laptop?

    This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:

    • Outdated or corrupt driver.
    • Missing Windows Updates.

    Try the steps listed here:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to install all the available Windows Updates and check if it helps.

    Method 2:

    If the issue persists, I suggest you to download and install all the latest device drivers including graphics and chipset driver from the computer manufacturer website.
