Since the Windows 10 anniversary update, my surface's battery percentage does not change when it is charging. When I unplug the charger, then it changes the battery percentage right away, but the percentage does not change when the charger is actually plugged in. When I hover over the battery icon, it only says how much time left until fully charged, but the time left does not change either. I would like to avoid leaving the surface charging when the battery is already fully charged, and I don't want to have to unplug the charger just to check. Please help.

2016-09-07T02:38:03+00:00 Same with me. Since the update, my battery charge status does not update on SP4 unless I unplug the power cord and then plug it back in. Also, I cannot toggle the brightness on the screen. Is there a fix coming??
What version of windows 10 are u currently running? Do a winver in a dos box to find out. Pls post back the results.

2016-08-13T20:24:51+00:00 I noticed that happening also after the anniversary 1607 update. I had other more serious issues so I fully reinstalled the anniversary edition. I am not sure when the battery status issue disappeared but I can tell u that I also installed the latest update for 1607 and the latest intel beta display driver because of other issues. Most issues are resolved but I still may go back to the pre anniversary win10 since it had fewer problems and was better on battery.
