The battery icon shows that the battery is fully charged, but the actual charge level is not

When the laptop is plugged in and charging, the battery icon in the lower-right corner of the taskbar shows that the battery is fully charged, but the actual battery charge level is only about 90%. After checking the power settings, I found that the charging threshold is set correctly.

  • The system's battery report may be outdated or inaccurate, causing the icon to display a full charge even though the actual capacity is lower.
