{MOVED}Alienware 14 - Desktop mode battery charge not working

Hello !

I got an Alienware 14 since few days. I found "Desktop mode battery charge" option and i have enabled it. Unfortunetly battery level is always 100% when its pluged in. I think it should be betwen 50-100%. I think its not working correctly. Can you help me?

(sorry for my english)

    Hi kukicola,

    Good day and welcome to the community!

    Thanks for reaching out to us. It seems that there's no issue with the system since the battery is being charged when plugged in. You can update the drivers using this link http://dell.to/12QP7Pr. If there's no error message, we're all good. For anything else, just let me know and I'm glad to assist further.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi kukicola,

    We're you able to update the drivers? And how does the system works when on batteries alone?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi kukicola,

    As I have already mentioned, the system works just fine and no issues at all. I would recommend that you continue with your observation with the system. For any unusual behaviour, just let me know.

    Thanks and Regards,

    I have the same problem on my inspiron 7537, the desktop or longevity mode don"t work, and as a result the batterylife will decrease over time. Dell should repair its drivers

    There seems to be some denial and cover up about this issue. I have seen numerous inquiries about this and all Dell seems to do is side step the peoples questions. I will not give up until we get an answer. Are you listening Dell?

    Why doesn't the M18X R2 have this desktop feature? That's primarily how I use the laptop.
