MSI Center laptop battery setting question


If I set MSI Center to make the laptop only charge until 60% but sometimes it charges until 58%/59% or 61%/62% and even after removing the partition where MSI Center is installed the laptop still charges until 60% (or close). How is this possible? Also, should I keep this setting or use the one that charges the battery until 80% or are these settings redundant, nowadays (at least)?

The utility you used to set these levels is probably just a front end for changing settings in the Bios.
So check your Bios to see if you can change those entries manually.

Already did, including the hidden settings after using a keyboard combo, and they don't show up there.

Then I don't know what to suggest.
Perhaps you could get some guidance by searching the MSI support site and/or any user forums they might host.


Best of luck,
Denis

I guess it's stored in the NVRAM?

I'll remove MSI Center since after installing it and logging into my user account, Windows always states it's installing updates after restarting or turning off the laptop. I'll only install it to run "System Diagnosis" to change the battery setting so that the laptop's battery charges until 60% when it's below 50% again since the battery setting is reset every time I update the BIOS.

EDIT: I'm not having the previous issue regarding updates so I'll reinstall MSI Center and keep it installed.
