Greetings, 👋
I hope you guys are fine and doing well!
I was enjoying my experience with my laptop which I bought in the past (March-2022). Everything has been going fine till yesterday when it started hanging (by word hanging I mean the system became very slow, requiring time even to open File Manager).
I'm very tense, I've tried multiple solutions. All the solutions that "HP Virtuals Assistant" suggests to me. Also, I've performed all the Hardware Components tests (Everything is fine, Green Check). But still, my system is very slow. But this problem is with the battery only, when I plugged in the ac adapter and then use it, it works fine. No matter if my battery charged percentage is 90%.
Now, what should I do? All the power tests were passed (Green Check) including the battery! 😔
Best Regards,
--Thank You
