On my windows 10 laptop, it says I have 100% fully charged. It only works when I have the charger plugged in but when it is unplugged it dies. I need it for school and I don't have anywhere to plug my laptop in so I can't use it. How can I fix this?

Thank you for joining HP Forums.
This is a great place to get support, find answers to your technical queries.
I understand the battery indicator is always at 100% and when you in unplug the charger PC turns off
No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:
Did you reinstall the battery drivers?
Or updated the BIOS?
