Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a great way to engage, post questions and find resolutions by working with specialists in the HP community.
I reviewed your post and I understand that the battery is not getting charged when the computer is powered on.
I’d love to help!
Follow below steps to fix this issue.
Reinstalled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager.
Here is how you do it.
Step 1: Click the Windows “Start” button and right-click “Computer.”
Step 2: Click “Manage,” then “Device Manager.”
Step 3: Click the “Batteries” section. A list of devices will appear.
Step 4: Right-click the “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery” device and click “Uninstall.”
Step 5: Click the “Action” menu item and “Scan for Hardware Changes” to reinstall the driver.
Restart the computer and the issue should be fixed.
If the issue persists, I recommend you update the bios the from the below link and test.
If you continue to face the issue I recommend you try using a different adapter and check if it resolves the issue.

I am at wits end with this problem. The battery tests fine, and charges when turned off, but when turned on it says "plugged in, not charging." I have tried every order of delete, battery driver, unplug laptop, unplug battery, hold in power button, that I have found online to solve this problem. I have reset win 10 on the machine. I have gone onto HP's site and downloaded and reinstalled the Bios. Help!! Any ideas, other than what I have tried? This HP Envy might be the death of me.

I had the same issue, and fixed it this morning. Look at the first reply to the question below, the reply from user KNRK.
