I previously posted this question, but the thread timed out, so I am posting it again. The laptop will only charge if it is shut down or asleep. I have the pavilion gaming laptop, model 15t dk100. I have replaced the battery and charger, but the problem is still occurring. In the previous thread I was asked to share the results of a system summary and battery check, and will include them below.
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home
Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043
System Model HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk1xxx
System Type x64-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz, 2496 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

Hi @mummaluc,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Don't worry as I have a few steps to help you get through this concern,
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates?
Here is a link to Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 10) that may also help
Alternatively, try these steps:
The Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery is basically the driver that communicates between the computer and the battery. There is a chance that it is corrupted.
Step 1. Go to Device Manager
Step 2. Select Batteries
Step 3. Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
Step 4. Click Uninstall
Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
Step 6. Shutdown the computer
Step 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.
Step 8. Go to Device Manager
Step 9. Select Batteries
Step 10. Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
Step 11. Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
I hope this should do the trick. Let me know if you need any further assistance. I'll be more than happy to help you.
Take care and have a good day.
