My laptop is an Intel Pentium with 4gb ram, windows 10 home. I've had it for two years. I had an issue with the battery where it said '75%, not charging' and I replaced the battery with a new one and it was working fine until now. A few days ago, it showed the error '96%, not charging'. I tried uninstalling the battery at device manager and tried calibrating it also. I found out that if I let the battery go until 95% and then charge it, the laptop charges till 100% but if I try to charge it when the battery is more than 95%, then the error pops up and the laptop doesn't charge. Ive also done pressing the power buttom for a minute and all. Why does this happen

Hello @Ekramul
Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... I would like to help you.
Take time and do the following trick ...
(1) Open windows <device manager> and uninstall "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery"
- Right click on "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery"
- Click "Uninstall device"
- Confirm your choice if you see a popup notification
(2) Shutdown notebook
(3) Disconnect charger, press and hold power button for 30 seconds.
(4) Enter BIOS
- Turn off the computer and wait five seconds
- Turn on the computer, and then immediately press the [ESC] key repeatedly until the Startup Menu opens
- Press [F10] to open the BIOS Setup Utility or [F2] to open HP Diagnostics
===>>> Let it stay there or run HP Diagnostic Test loops to drain battery
===>>> Don't start windows operating system !
===>>> Don't connect charger !
===>>> Wait until notebook is switching off automatically !
Note: If you unexpectedly started Windows, you have to repeat (1) (2) (3)
(5) Plugin charger and wait until battery is fully charged
===>>> Don't start windows operating system !
===>>> Check charging led !
(6) If you do have no charging led, wait at least 2 hours ...
(7) Start notebook and log in to windows. Now windows acpi battery device and battery management system are synchronized. windows <battery status> should show 98-100% battery level.
(8) If battery level is too low and it's loosing capacity too fast, it has to be replaced !
