Hello. Suddenly my laptop began to charge only up to 36 percent. Then to 29. Then to 24. This happens if Windows is turned on and if the laptop is turned off. It started about 5 days ago before that everything was fine. I checked the Battery Report and HP Hardware Test, but they show that everything is fine. How can this problem be solved?
Adapter test:
Battery check:

Please reinstall the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and check if that helps

Step 03. Look for Batteries and expand it by click on the + symbol on the left
Step 04. Right Click on "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" & uninstall
Note: This Battery driver will get re-installed automatically when you restart the Notebook again
Step 05. Please Shutdown the Notebook
Step 06. Remove the Battery and unplug the Power Adapter ( For Notebooks with Removable Batteries )
Step 07. Press and Hold the Power Button for full 1 Minute

Next update the BIOS from this Link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
If the issue persists run a Battery Test again to confirm the Hardware Functionality
