  1. Laptop slows down while plugged in


    I don't know why, but my laptop gets four times faster when running on battery over charging.


    Plugged in: https://prnt.sc/p9hoz6


    Not plugged in: https://prnt.sc/p9hp9m


    My laptop is plugged in almost all the time, and there are charging issues with the laptop as well. It would be a lot easier for me if I could get these speeds while plugged in. Does anyone have a solution?


    Edit: The 30% you see in the "plugged in" screenshot doesn't change. It's consistently 30% and won't even go 1% lower or higher.

    :)

    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?
