HP ENVY Notebook - 15-ae101nx (Touch) (ENERGY STAR)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

When I put my laptop on the charger and it's on, it won't charge It only charges when the laptop at shut down mode. 

And the battery life has become short It only stays less than one hour

Hi @Sulaiman_moh,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing a power-related issue with your HP ENVY Notebook - 15-Ae101nx. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

To assist better:

  • Are you using the original charger which came along with the unit?
  • Was there any recent update on the PC?

Update the BIOS, & Chipset drivers:

  • Here's the link to download and install the above updates: Click here

Perform Windows Update and HP Support Assistant: (do not skip any troubleshooting steps if you feel steps are repeating) 

To check for updates now, select the Start button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update, and select Check for updates.

Install updates from HP Support Assistant: Go to Download HP Support Assistant to install the tool.

  1. To open HP Support Assistant, double-click the HP Support Assistant icon https://support.hp.com/doc-images/932/c05040382.jpg.
  2. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC.
  3. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.
  4. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.
  5. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.
  6. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

I suggest you perform the troubleshooting steps from this document HP Notebook PCs - Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows)

 

Let's try reinstalling the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery 

 

1) In the search box, type, and open “Device Manager”. 

2) Expand “Batteries”. 

3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there. 

4) Click on “Uninstall”. 

5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver 

6) Shutdown the computer. 

7) Remove the battery for a minute and then put it back in. 

😎 When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver. 

9) Go to Device Manager. 

10) Expand Batteries. 

11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there. 

12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software". Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller. 

 

Also, try updating the computer - 

 

Step 1 Windows Updates - 

1) In the search box, type, and open Windows Updates. 

2) Check for updates. 

3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer. 

 

Step 2 HP Support Assistant Updates - 

1) In the search box, type, and open HP Support Assistant. 

2) Check for updates. 

3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer. 

 

This document has the most relevant troubleshooting if your battery appears to be not charging: Battery Does not Power Notebook or Hold a Charge 

 

If the issue persists, Let's Run a battery test using F2 (during restart), if the test failed:  Check with an alternate battery.  HP Notebook PCs - Using and Testing the AC Power Adapter
