    Of late, my laptop doesn't charge anymore, like it remains at the same level. I noticed that this was the case when it was put on high performance. However, when it's set on Balanced or max battery, it charges, why is this so? Any solutions?

    -Thanks

    is it at 80% or 50%? if so, you probably have battery care option enabled. (which btw, is a good thing )
