Hi @Deadeyedj
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I see that your laptop performs slowly when it is connected to the AC adapter. Do not worry, I am here to help you with it.
May I know if you have made any changes to your system?
Are you using the original adapter?
Let's try these steps -
Step 1 Change power settings -
1. Go to "Control Panel" and then "Power Options".
2. Click on "Change plan settings", next to the plan you are using.
3. Now click "Change advanced power settings".
4. Check the different options in there and make sure nothing is set to interfere with the usage while charging. I suggest checking in all of them, as there could be more than one item giving you issues.
5. Once you have made all your changes, click the "Apply" button and then click "OK".
6. Restart the computer.
Step 2 BIOS Defaults -
1) Shutdown the computer.
2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears.
3) Press F10 once for BIOS.
4) Press F9 for BIOS defaults.
5) Press F10 to save and exit.
Also, try updating the drivers of your computer - Link
Step 3 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.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
