Windows 10: Microsoft ACPI-Complaint Control Method Battery

My Sony VAIO E-Series VPCEA36FM Notebook wouldn't recognize the battery, so i decided to go to another laptop and copy and paste the files on this laptop. Now the driver isn't working at all. Any help for this problem would be appreciated. Thanks!

Windows 10 - Missing Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery

Hello,

I recently bought a new battery for my computer (Lenovo P580) to replace the original. However, on Windows 7 the battery indicator showed that it was "plugged in, not charging" when the A/C adapter was plugged in. The battery fails to charge.

To combat this issue, I looked up several different methods online and the most common solution is as follows:

1. Disconnect the A/C power supply

2. Shut down the computer

3. Remove the battery

4. Connect the A/C power supply

5. Start the computer

6. In the control panel, under system and security --> system --> device manager --> battery, uninstall "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery"

7. Shut down computer

8. Disconnect A/C power supply

9. Insert the battery

10. Insert the A/C power supply

The problem should have been fixed, since Windows should automatically re-install the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery upon start-up...which it did, in Windows 7. However, this did not fix the "plugged-in, not charging" problem.

So, I thought I would update my OS to Windows 10 and try this method again, in the hopes that maybe this was a Windows 7 bug. When going through the same ten-step process, though, Windows 10 failed to reinstall the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method
Battery, and now I am left without a battery indicator...and a battery that still doesn't charge.

If someone could help me solve these two issues, that would be great. Thanks!
