Hello all,
I have a strange issue on my laptop (DELL XPS L702x).
I've been working for year on this computer with Windows 7 without any concern at all.
And from the day I upgraded my computer on Windows 10, my computer started to have an issue when I'm on Battery (the power not plugged in ;-)). When I remove the power supply , after a moment (this can be from 5 min to more than 1 hour), the computer suddenly stops. When I say stops it is an hardware shut down (not a windows closing), like if you hold the power button long.
I did a some search on the web but did not find exactly the same thing as I have.
I'm 100% sure this problem is a software issue coming from Windows 10. Why? Firstly I never had any behavior like this on Windows 7. And even more I still have Windows 7 on another partition and it is working well. Secondly my battery is recent and every time well charged when the issue occurs. And finally, from my searches on internet, I could more or less find where this can comes from. I did remove the file "Cmbatt.sys" from system32/driver and from that time no more this problem. But unfortunately I do not have the battery management in windows (battery level icon, battery low warnings).
Even if this partially solved my concerns I would like to correctly solve it and at least understanding what's really that issue.
Does any one of you have an idea where is this coming from and any vision of stable solution?
Thanks,
