    My Laptop is Not Plugged in, But the Icon at the Bottom Says it is


    I don't have my laptop plugged in, but it still says it's charging it's not. I tried restarting my laptop, and it didn't go away. I uninstalled the last update, and it didn't go away. What do I do?

    :)

    Laptop charging icon shows charging even when my charger is not plugged in

    Hi,

    I understand the previous solution worked only temporarily and the issue remains the same so as to the next step in solving this issue I would suggest you follow the below.

    Step 1:

    Go to search box next to windows icon and type Device Manager

    Step 2:

    Click to open Device Manager

    Step 3:

    Click Batteries on the list to expand it and you should see two items: Microsoft AC Adapter and Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.

    Step 4:

    Right-click on each item and choose the Uninstall device. Yes, you are uninstalling your laptop's battery drivers, but don't worry because they will automatically be reinstalled when you restart your laptop.

    Step 5:

    Shut down your laptop.

    Step 6:

    Unplug the power cable from your laptop.

    If your laptop has a removable battery, remove it. If no removable battery skip this step.

    Step 7:

    Put the battery back in if you removed it.

    Step 8:

    Plug in your laptop.

    Step 9:

    Power on your laptop.

    Regards

    Laptop charging icon shows charging even when my charger is not plugged in

    Hi, thank you for your suggestion. I followed all the steps mentioned by you. The issue stopped temporarily. The issue started again today. The moment I switched the laptop on, the charging icon was showing that the laptop is charging even though the charger
    was not plugged in. The charging light was also on. I had to plug in the charger and switch it on and off to stop this automatic charging.

    Is there any other way to solve this issue? Also, is there a chance that there is bug in the latest update?

    I am worried that my laptop battery will get spoiled.

    My Laptop is Not Plugged in, But the Icon at the Bottom Says it is

    why dell laptop says plugged in not charging

    Dell Inspiron 15 3531 laptop still says Plugged in not charging after replacing battery and AC adapter. I've also tried uninstalling driver as suggested. Tapping F2 at startup doesn't access BIOS and it's out of warranty. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Was this caused by a Windows 10 Update issue and is there a fix for that?

    Thanks
