Windows 10: The Battery status does not show if the battery is charging or not, after latest Windows 10...

I have updated to the latest version of Windows 10, version 1093, and in the Battery Status, it does not show if an AC adapter is charging the battery or not anymore. it only shows "Plugged-In".


There are incidences when an AC adapter is defective, even though it is plugged-in but it is not charging the battery. Previous version of Windows will show "plugged-in, not charging", but after update this feature seems to be taken off.


Please put this feature back!


Best regards,

Laptop Battery Charge Status


The battery status on my 3 year old Dell laptop shows Fully Charged 100% when plugged in but then drops to 92% as soon as I unplug the charger. Why does Windows 10 the report battery status like this?

 

Battery status 100% fully charged


Hello,
I am using a new lenovo laptop with windows 10 pro on it (not OEM).
I have calibrated my battery because it's status was "100% plugged in, charging".
Now after calibration, when it reaches 100% the status is "100% Fully charged", but I think the battery is being charged non stop because it doesnt go under 100%.
I believe this is not healthy for the battery so Im looking for a way to get the "100% plugged in, not charging" status. can I configure it through windows?
Thanks

 

Battery plugged in but not charging.


Hello Bree & Callender, This morning I fiddled around trying to get the charger to work in the boot process by pressing F2 and the waiting for 10 minutes or so before continuing to log on. The amount of battery charge was still 5% which it was prior to all that. I did this because it was a suggestion from Dell as a possible solution. I then considered updating the BIOS as this is another Dell suggestion to overcome the battery not charging problem.

I then had another look at the adapter to confirm its output which is 130 Watts. Anyway, after an hour or so seemingly getting nowhere I noticed that the battery signal to the left ot the keyboard had lit up. I immediiatly checked the battery icon on the screen and found it was now showing that it was charging and 1 hour 31 minutes to full charge. I decided to leave everything as it was for a couple of hours after which time it was showing 100% charge on the battery.

Later on however I noticed that, although still showing 100% charge, the battery “connected but not charging” message was back. Needless to say I am even more flummoxed. I read all the links you posted Bree and found them very interesting. Nevertheless I am now wondering why the chargeing process had burst into and then died again. Someone, somewhere knows what’s happening I am sure.
