This patch-tuesday ...

My Toshiba LapTop is more often than not connected to the charger and gets shut down and restarted when needed.

Yesterday (patch-tuesday) KB5030211 and KB5030180 were installed. After that, the battery drained and no longer takes any charge. When I remove the charger, the LapTop dies instantly.

When the charger is reconnected, it is possible to restart the LapTop and it indicates for a few seconds that the battery takes charge (the battery symbol "rolls") but soon it stops indicating (the battery symbol no longer "rolls"). After a good nights sleep, I checked the LapTop and the battery had not taken any charge.

Is anyone else experiencing the same or is this a coincidence (the battery dies on patch-tuesday)?

 

The battery is a year old (approximately) and I hoped for a longer life. Maybe better toss the LapTop in the bin and buy a new one. Then, I'll hopefully get a better battery.

About the charger, the LapTop runs on it which means that it's not dead.

 

That thought has crossed my mind. I'll probably try that.

 

This battery is still within warranty ... ... !

 

I uninstalled KB5030211 but it made no difference. (The update to .NET Framework, KB5030180, can't possibly have anything to do with it.)

Maybe I did it the wrong way around. After uninstalling the update, ascertaining that it was not the culprit, I swapped the battery for the old one which I still haven't recycled. I know that the old one is "finished" but it takes charge.

Now, I'm pretty sure that the new battery is totally dead but luckily still within warranty.
