    Sometimes issues are caused by outdated drivers or firmware, so check for updates via Windows Update and check for new drivers and firmware on HP’s website.

    Solution 3 – Check your charger

    If previous solutions were not helpful to you, maybe you have problems with your charger. Users have reported that leaning on their laptop while using it has managed to somewhat fix the problem.

    We don’t advise you to lean on your laptop every time you use it, but if you notice that your charger starts working when you lean on your laptop, you might have some charger issues.

    Users have reported that sometimes the charging pin gets bent to one side and it’s no longer located in the center of the hole. You can check this by following these steps:

  • Unplug your adapter from the power outlet. This is extremely important since you don’t want to keep your power adapter attached to the power outlet while you’re messing with it so please, for your safety, unplug it before doing this.
  • After you’ve unplugged your adapter from the power outlet, check the other side that connects to your laptop to see if the charging pin is bent or not. You’ll probably need a flashlight to do so.
  • If it is, try to gently pry it and centre it with something thin. Remember, if you’re not careful you can break your charging pin and ruin you power adapter.

    • If this sounds too complicated, or you just don’t want to accidentally destroy your charger you might want to try a different charger.

    Sometimes it can be a voltage issue. You can stop at your local Windows store and try connecting your device to one of the display chargers to see if anything happens.

    Solution 4 – Check your battery

    The last solution is to take your HP Envy to an official repair center to see if there’s a hardware failure with your battery.

    This has been a common issue with HP Envy devices and it’s not caused by Windows 10, but if you’re still concerned you can downgrade and see if the problem persists.

    Also, you can try to perform a BIOS reset to see if this will solve the problem. You can do that by following this guide.

    Users have reported this issue on a variety of operating systems, so it’s most likely a hardware issue and not a software one. In most cases, it’s a faulty charger, or sometimes a battery, so make sure that you check them first.
