in Nitro Gaming
I’ve only hade my acer nitro 5 for a few months and I charge my laptop to 100%. When I play games and the battery is low it notifies me, but when I plug it in I see the light flashing instead of staying solid. I look at the battery icon and it says “not charging”. In order to get it to work I have to shut down the game and the computer. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    @cw787 go to device manager,→expand batteries→then uninstall everything you see under batteries just right click on it and select uninstall then close device manager and restart your system then check your issue resolved

    So I just uninstall the Microsoft AC adapter and Microsoft ACPI-compliant control method battery. Are you sure that won’t screw up the computer? I just want to make sure

    Quick Math - For my configuration
    GTX 1050 - 80W at boost, i5-9300H - 54W at boost, Fans - 15W at max ramp + so many other components. Adds up to - >150W. Power brick provided - 135W.
    This isn't to bash Acer, but this is a common move that many companies do because it is rare that the CPU and GPU are loaded to max boost at the same time and it is expensive to make a higher wattage charger and it will be heavier too, which many people might dislike.

    MY point exactly.
