I have been using HP notebook 15-bw084AX laptop from last 1 year and 9 months. And from last one month it suddenly shuts off below 70% of battery and only starts when charger plugged in. And also shows 100% of charging by side LED but on screen it shows nearly to 90%. I have tried many solutions like resetting it and updating its drivers but still it not working well ........

@Ankman, Welcome to HP Support Community!
Let's try reinstalling the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
1) In the search box, type, and open “Device Manager”.
2) Expand “Batteries”.
3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.
4) Click on “Uninstall”.
5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
6) Shutdown the computer.
7) Remove the battery for a minute and then put it back in.
😎 When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.
9) Go to Device Manager.
10) Expand Batteries.
11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.
12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software". Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
Also, try updating the computer -
Step 1 Windows Updates -
1) In the search box, type, and open Windows Updates.
2) Check for updates.
3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
Step 2 HP Support Assistant Updates -
1) In the search box, type, and open HP Support Assistant.
2) Check for updates.
3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
