My laptop discharged when it was plugged in

While browsing web sites, I suddenly got a message that the battery is at low charge level. I looked at system tray, but it indicated that the laptop was plugged in. But after a while it switched off due to insufficient power. I charged it up in turned-off state as it could not boot up initially, and then boooted up.
My system settings power tab shows abrrupt charge loss over a few hours and also that the main power user is Windows File Explorer at 32% of power consumption share. What it could be?

Failing/Failed power adapter. Replace.
Failed/Failing battery. Replace.
EDIT The plugged in indication could just mean the device recognises a connection. The power icon in the SysTray should indicate that it is actually charging up and/or the time left to full charge.

I looked at tray, it indicated that the computer was connected to the power supply.

.... also that the main power user is Windows File Explorer at 32% of power consumption share.
Does it actually say
Windows File Explorer , or just
Explorer (which is the whole OS)?

It did not indicate charging, it showed plug image. I do not remember but it seems it indicated time till turning off, at least I received a message that the computer has charge for a few minutes.

Which is in Cyrillic script, but anyway, Explorer =/= Windows File Explorer (which is just a single program)

Well. I think the both names mean the same program (which is taskbar and file manager).
