I just recently got my laptop fixed & got the new Windows 10 software installed. When I went to go use it everytime the battery is full charge, I unplug the charger, the computer always shuts off. Also when I booted it back up, it said my battery level is at 225%. I’m not sure what that even means, does that mean that I have to get a whole new laptop all together or a purchase a new battery? Please help fix this issue, thank you so much.
