I have an X140e Lenovo that is having a problem charging.  Charging for this laptop is sporadic.  In looking at the Device Manager, the d is listed as "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" and the  other reference is "Microsoft AC Adapter".  The date on the driver is 2006,  Is there a newer driver for this or would uninstalling and reinstalling these devices possibly fix this?

What causes a Lenovo x140e laptop with Windows 10 Education installed to not charge at times?

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
