    1

    Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

    Expand the Batteries section

    For each device in that section:

    Right click and choose Disable

    Wait a second or two, then right click and choose Enable

    Close Device Manager

    Restart your laptop, then check if the battery is indicated as charging.

    If not, I need some information about your laptop model and hardware.

    Click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.

    Try these Windows steps in order:

    1. Make sure the PC is fully shutting down, not going to sleep.
      • Select Start > Power > Shut down.
      • A laptop that enters sleep or suspend can still use battery while it looks off.
    2. Restart the PC once.
      • Select Start > Power > Restart.
      • This can fix temporary power-management problems.
    3. Run the Power troubleshooter.
      • Go to Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
      • Select Run next to Power.
    4. Review battery and power settings.
      • Go to Start > Settings > System > Power & battery.
      • Check battery level and how it changes through the day.
      • Open Energy recommendations and select Apply all, or adjust settings such as screen brightness, screen saver, and sleep timing.
    5. Turn on Battery saver.
      • Go to Start > Settings > System > Power & battery > Battery saver.
      • Turn it on now, or set it to turn on automatically at a chosen battery level.
    6. Reduce background power use before shutting down.
      • Turn off Bluetooth and other wireless connections when not needed.
      • If Internet is not needed, turn on Airplane mode from Start > Settings > Network & internet.
    7. Check what the power button does.
      • Select Search on the taskbar, enter control panel, then open Control Panel.
      • Go to Power options > Choose what the power buttons do.
      • Confirm the power button is not set to a sleep state when a full shutdown is expected.

    If the battery still drains heavily while the laptop is off after these steps, that points to either the device not fully powering down or a battery health/hardware issue.
