Afterinstalling Windows 10 on my HP Pavilion g6-2197sa laptop, I have had problems charging the battery. The battery icon reports something like "79% available (plugged in, not charging)." I can, sometimes, temporarily fix this problem by following these steps: Shut down. Remove battery. Typically when a laptop isn't charging, there are three main reasons: The charging cable isn't working correctly, the battery is failing, or the software isn't responding properly. Onan HP laptop, the most notable causes for this issue include a damaged charger or charging port, bugs in the battery driver, or poor health of the battery. However, it is also possible that there is a battery level limit on your battery preventing it from charging any further. Rightclick the driver and choose Update Driver. If the driver needs a newer version, it will update, and you can restart your computer. If you previously didn't get the charging symbol over the battery icon on your desktop toolbar, but it's showing now, this could have been the problem.
