Why does Windows 10 not have a way to cure the never-ending problem of the battery not charging? I began to suspect my battery was going bad the last go-round, but after repeating the same old procedure again to get it going, I was AMAZED at how fast it charged right up to 100%! You know the routine; to go Device Manager, remove/uninstall everything under Batteries, re-scan for changes which is useless, shut down, remove the battery, press the power button for several seconds, re-insert the battery, restart, and BINGO! The battery charges just fine. Oh yeah- I forgot to include 'search for updated driver'.
BUT, as so many commercials say- BUT WAIT (and you get a second whatever totally FREE. Yup. Of course). Yes, but just wait! In a couple days, the charging stops and the slow process of the battery discharging all the way down to no charge at all, starts all over again. Again! And again! And AGAIN! It's a never ending routine.
I've had every version of Windows except maybe one way back at the beginning and NEVER had a battery charging issue like this! NEVER! This laptop started as a Windows 7 Pro version and has had every version on it since, right on up through this latest one- 2004.
Is it even a remote possibility that somewhere down the line we'll get a version that will actually work right and keep the battery charged without having to go through the same routine everytime the battery needs charging? The way it is, the laptop can't be trusted to work for very long without lugging the power pack along to, "just in case".
This is crazy! If I could only hook it up to my car's alternator system...
