my laptop is Aspire a314-36m, lately the charging process is much slower than usual, this morning i plug it in for like 3 hours and it only charged 15% from 40% to 55%, is there any way to check why it happened? should i check my battery health and how i do it?

    Hi, are you using the barrel plug power adapter or a universal USB-C phone/tablet charger? Check if your BIOS is up to date with last month released version 1.15 of 2024/10/15 and Windows11 23H2 is updated to build 22631.4460.

    im using the barrel plug power adaptor, and yes i have updated my os build to 22631.4460 but i dont think i have updated my bios since i put a lock on it and totally forgot the password, do i need to unlock it or i could just straight up update it?
