    Laptop extremely slow when plugged in

    I've noticed, especially when gaming, that everything on my laptop slows down when it's plugged in and charging. Games are nearly impossible to play and it takes ages to load/navigate a webpage when the computer's plugged in. But the second I unplug it--no
    problem at all. I've found a lot of similar complaints across different platforms, but none of the suggested solutions are working for me. My power settings are all set to high performance when plugged in and cooling policy is set to active when plugged in
    (but the laptop isn't overheating, it's at ~37 celsius and the change from normal to slow is so instantaneous when I plug in the charger that it wouldn't even have time to heat up).

    Is there anything I can try or am I doomed to my laptop being downright unusable while charging?

    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    • Outdated or corrupt driver.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.
