Acer 5 A515-51G Battery charging not stable on windows 11

hello
I have an Acer 5 A515-51G it was working perfectly but at some point when I plug the power cable it start charging for 2-3 seconds then stops then start charging for some time (5-10 minutes) then stops charging permanently until I re plug it again then keep having the same problem over and over.
I changed the charger to a new original one but didn't help.
the problem comes only when windows is active, I mean it charge normal when it's turned off or on sleep mode, also I installed linux and charging normal.
what could cause this? and I heard that a lot of users having the same issue with windows 11.?

Microsoft has likely tweaked the software that controls charging and overcharging. If you run on battery for an hour or do then plug the charger back in does it work right again?

it's actually windows 11 related (updating the bios to last + reset battery reduced the issue by a lot but still exists, then I went back to win 10 and the problem gone, like it never was there 🙂
