Plugged in, Not Charging is a Windows operating system issue and if you recently having this problem with your laptop then maybe it’s possible your laptop is suffering from lack of charging and giving you the bad running power backup because of some hardware or software issues.

Normally when this error –Plugged in, Not Charging appears on your laptop, it’s also possible you’ve might not able to seen the charging light on your laptop, or maybe changing light is Power ON but the adapter is not charging your laptop at all or maybe showing you the frozen battery status like “0% available (Plugged In, Not Charging)” or maybe with some other froze percentage digits.

There are four main and only reason why this error is occurring with your laptop and those are –


Windows Problem.
Power Adapter (Charger) Problem.
Battery Problem.
Laptop’s Internal Problem.


So, let’s troubleshoot everything :

Troubleshoot Windows Problem


Mostly you’ve gonna fix your laptop by just doing this first step of this troubleshooting procedure because 95% of this error is commonly caused by due to power adapter drivers corruptions of your laptop’s Windows (OS) and that’s why I made this part more explained from the others so, you can easy perfome and understand it and that will make you to quickly fix your problem.

The corrupted driver called “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery” is the main root for this error to occur when every time you’ve starts your laptop computer.

The main work of this windows drivers is to maintain your laptop’s charging services process and sometimes it got corrupted by virus, corrupted registry or a 3rd party software installation but by just removing the driver can fix your problem instantly and the best part is after removing that driver you don’t need to reinstall it back because your windows will automatically do it for you.

So, Let’s Remove the Corrupted Drivers, Just Follow the Steps Given Below –
First, you’ll need to shut down your laptop if it opens and then the put the laptops battery out from it and then start’s your laptop by just only connecting the power adapter cable.

It’s safe to run your laptop without the battery and if your laptop doesn’t start or having a problem without battery then maybe it’s possible your laptop’s power adapter might get faulty.

You can try to use another power adapter if your’s adaptor not working and that will make it clear, it’s an internal or external problem.


After when your laptop’s start completely then you’ll need to open your Windows device manager by typing the “devmgmt.msc” command in the run box.

You can also open it by right clicking on the computer tab in the start menu and after that select “Manage” to open your windows device manger in front of you.


After that expand the Batteries tab and you’ll find your laptop’s “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery” drivers.

As you can see below I’ve highlighted two different drivers but you’ve only need to remove the main one “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant…..” but there is chance you’ll have to do this drivers remove thing on this “Microsoft Ac adapter” driver too, if your problem isn’t solve by just removing the single one.



Now select that driver and right on “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery” and click uninstall and after that click “OK” to remove that driver completely.

Sometimes this may take a while so, wait for it:



After that shut down your computer again and put the battery back on its place and start your computer to test your laptop.
