Windows 11
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?

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.

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.

It is visible on the screenshot, it said "Explorer".

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).
