Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-e0000 (2V9A0AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hello guys,

I recently bought a HP Gaming Laptop yesterday (08-24-22) and used it for at least 4 hours until i recently notice that the battery indicator stuck at 99% percent. 

 

I tried troubleshooting it through Youtube which tells me to check for updates, ive also tried to check it through PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows - Components Test - Battery Test and shows this (Passed), but still the battery percentage is not draining. After at least 7 hours, the laptop automatically locks and shutdown and cant be turned on again without charging it.

 

Could this be hardware or software issue?

Please  help me with this problem.

Thank you.

Hello.

Apparently after updating the bios and all that stuff, this one solves my problem on battery indicator freezing at 99 percent.

I still encounter some problems like the battery usage and levels is not updating anymore (please see the attached pic). But still thank you @Ub6424 for helping me. 

Will still update for any concerns i would encounter along the way.
