Hello @dupbuck,

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.

I understand that your notebook computer only charges when the lid is closed, or when the computer has entered sleep mode, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!

To configure your power options for charging when the lid is both up and active, I recommend following the steps in this document on Managing Power Options (Windows 😎. Additionally, I also suggest following the steps below to reset the default power schemes for your computer:

Step 1. Click the Start button
Step 2. In the search box, type "Command Prompt"
Step 3. Right-click Command Prompt

Step 4. Click Run as administrator
Step 5. At the command prompt, type powercfg /restoredefaultschemes and press Enter

1. restoring power schemes

2. removing battery related device drivers from the device manager
