How do I fix it?

Here is an easy but effective solution you can try to fix this problem.

See how:
1) Disconnect your laptop’s power plug.

2) Shut down your laptop.

3) Remove your laptop’s battery.

4) Reconnect your laptop’s power plug.

5) Power on your laptop with the power key.

6) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and X at the same time to open the quick-access menu.

7) Click Device Manager.

8) In Batteries section, right-click on your battery driver, commonly it’s Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery. Then click Uninstall device.

9) Shut down your laptop again and then disconnect the power plug.

10) Insert the battery to your laptop and then reconnect the power plug.

IMPORTANT: Sometimes Windows may not reinstall the battery driver automatically for you. You can download the latest battery driver from your laptop manufacturer’s website.

If you’re a computer novice and have no idea how to download and install your device drivers, we recommend using Driver Easy. It’s a tool that detects, downloads and (if you go Pro) installs any driver updates your computer needs.

To update your drivers with Driver Easy, just click the Scan Now button, then when it lists the drivers you need to update, click Update. The correct drivers will be downloaded, and you can install them – either manually through Windows or all automatically with Driver Easy Pro.

After installing the battery driver, please reboot your Windows 10.

Your battery should then be charging successfully.
