Battery Meter Stopped Working - Windows 8.1

A couple weeks ago I noticed battery drain occurring even though my laptop was plugged in.  Since then, the battery has continued to show drain, and the battery meter does not work.  Last night the battery was showing 3.76% remaining charge. 
Today when I turned on my computer, the battery was back at 100% charged, but I had done nothing to cause that, that I am aware of.  Still, the battery meter is not working, so I cannot trust what the battery charge level is stating, I don't think. 
I did install the app Battery Bar Pro, and it is in agreement with what the battery charge indicator is showing, but I have no idea where that app gets its information from, so it could simply be restating what the battery level indicator is showing. I don't
know what to think with the battery meter not working.
In checking, I see a number of instances of error code reports regarding Battery.exe, with the error code always reporting Event ID 1000.
I have tried to find anything related to battery issues under all of the results pertaining to Event ID 1000, but I don't see anything pertinent to my situation.
What could this mean?

Hi Deb JL,
Regarding Battery life related issue, we may also consider seek help at the manufacturer side and see if they could offer any helpful information.
Further, for Event ID 1000, would you please have a share with the detailed information about this log?

  • When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem " This has been going on for several days, I've had to go back IE to access web pages

    When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem."

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.

  • Windows 7 - 'iTunes Has Stopped Working' Window Repeatedly Popping Up

    Hi there, I've encountered a problem that I couldn't fix myself so I'm hoping someone can impart with some knowledge.
    The dreaded 'iTunes has stopped working' window pops up constantly, and continues to reappear again and again. Even navigating to this forum, finding the right place to post and typing this very question is a pain as it has popped up about 7 times since I started typing it. If I leave my laptop alone for a few minutes, I come back and there's about 15 windows open saying the same thing. This is super annoying as I'm trying to get some work done, but any ounce of productivity I have is stifled by this. I am very close to headbutting the screen before I throw my laptop into oncoming traffic on the street below.
    I've tried restarting the system, shutting it down and leaving it off for a bit, ending any iTunes-related processes in Task Manager but all have failed.
    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
    HP Pavilion G6 
    4GB RAM
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Hi there 46Villan,
    I understand that you are seeing an issue with iTunes for Windows and you are getting a recurring error message on your computer. I understand how this would be frustrating to you and would stifle productivity. In order to help you troubleshoot this issue, I suggest that you perform the steps found in the following article:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203206
    If the issue continues after attempting those steps, you may need to consider uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes and its related components completely:

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Itunes has stopped working Windows is checking for a solution ....

    After I just upgrade my itunes and restart the computer I click on itunes and get a message itunes has stopped working Windows is checking for a solution to the problem….’ This is then followed by another message ‘a problem caused the programme to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.’
    I try to open in "safe mode" and getting the same message.
    I am trying to figure out what to do about my son's itouch he has lost it/stolen at school. Feeling worried and would like to be able to get in my itunes account now.

    This is the simplest fix, if you're still having a problem with it.  I had the same problem, am running Windows 8.1.  Just be sure to reboot after you copy the dll (dynamic link library) file indicated.
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Let me know if you have a problem.

    So you are saying it works ok as long as you avoid certain pages such as this Forum. That makes me wonder if it could be malware that is blocking access to assistance.Run malwarescans with multipe and up-to-date tools.

  • What is this : "Firefox has stopped working Window is chcking for a solution to the program"

    I am Using Mozila 3.6.3 , I am so happy with this version. But Many times it show error
    "Firefox has stopped working
    Window is checking for a solution to the program"
    and then it show
    ""Firefox has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is Available."
    | Close Program |"
    How i solved out it

    Your Firefox 3.6 is apparently crashing or hanging.
    Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and is not secure, so you are increasing the risks to your computer and personal data. It is probably a good time to upgrade to Firefox 14 from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Do not use any option from Windows or firefox that offers to remove personal data (because that destroys bookmarks, passwords and settings). If you have problems once you install a recent version you may neeed to look at

  • For no reason when I try to sync my iPad I get a message after about 10 minetes sayingitunes has stopped working windows will get back to you if a solution is found.I used to be able to sync no problem this just started all of a sudden

    I get a message every time I truro sync it says iTunes has stopped working windows will contact you if a solution is found.

    I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

  • Iphont battery meter not working/ push notifications not working/restarting over and over again.

    A few weeks ago, I went on a vacation out of the country. I had my iphone 5 on airplane mode for a week. When I got back and turned it off of airplane mode, it started restarting over and over again right after being plugged into the charger. Eventually, it seems to get ahold of itself and stops turning on and off, but the phone battery meter freezes where ever it is at that point. If it has 100% battery, it says it has 100% battery until it dies. If it only has 1% battery, I'll leave it on the charger long enough to have 100%, but it will still say 1%. The battery life itself is not any different. According to the meter, my phone will stay on all day with 1%. Also, after being dead, my phone would turn on immediately after being plugged in (rather than waiting a few minutes to get enough charge as usual). I think this is because since my phone does not know how much battery it has, it thinks it has enough to turn on right away.
    I visited the apple store, and they told me to restore it as a new phone. When I did this, it did not work at first. But after a day, my phone battery life meter started working normally again, and it stopped doing the turn on/turn off continuously thing. BUT imessage no longer worked. It said "waiting for activation" for two weeks. Also, push notifications no longer worked. Every time I openned an app, it would notify my that i could not have push notifications and to connect to itunes. Certain apps wouldnt work at all (snap chat, lulu). They would just give the alert about push notifications over and over again.
    I wanted imessage back, so I restored my phone as new once again. This time, imessage, push notification, snapchat, ect. started working again. But, it has gone back to not knowing how much battery life it has and restarting over and over again after being turned on from a dead state. WHAT DO I DO?! I don't want to have either of these problems. It's kind of like my phone has a virus.
    note: the first time i turned it on after coming back from vacation, it said "no sim card" for a few minutes.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

  • Battery suddenly stops working - computer shuts off despite battery saying its charged.

    I have a HDX16 laptop running windows 7.
    The battery is a year and a few months old, and yesterday was giving me at least 50 min of battery life. However today, it wont hold a charge at all and my computer shuts down completely whenever the power supply is interrupted for a millisecond. I ask because this is the second time a battery has suddenly stopped working on me and I am wondering if there is a reason for this.
    I tried to check the battery condition by hitting esc + f2 when my computer starts up, but there is no battery check option.
    Any explanation or advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks for your time. 

    Hey Aitchpk, 
    I'm sorry you're having a battery issue. I would suggest running a battery check using HP Support Assistant if you have it installed on your computer. 
    You could also try using this standalone Battery Check.
    Do you have any issues like this if you operate the computer without the battery and just have the power cord plugged in?

  • Hp support assistant has stopped working windows 8

    My HP Support Assistant has stopped working. I have read other comments on the forum concerning this problem and attempted to follow their advice. But I am still having the same problem. I uninstalled the HP support in the Control Panel uninstall programs. I restarted  my computer then reinstalled the HP support. When installing it asked if I wanted to write over all of the files because HP files were still on my computer. Apparently it did not fully uninstall. I emptied my recycle bin and cleaned out my registry after I tried to uninstall the HP file again. Went back and reinstalled HP support again. This time I did not get the message that it was already installed and do I want to overwrite the files. I thought that the problem was solved but it is not. I cannot get the HP support to work at all. Please can anyone tell me what to do. I am not very savvy with computers and sure use some help.
    My computer is an:     HP Envy 20 TouchSmart 20d011 - using Windows 8.
    I had this problem with another HP computer and called Tech support and they told me to completely restore my computer and then my hard drive crashed. I had to send the computer back an purchased this one. But now dejavu all over. Thank you for any response to my question.

    Hey jetapache,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides troubleshooting steps if you iTunes for Windows is becoming unresponsive.
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    Resolution
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any inference with plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    1. Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    2. After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you see the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the Create a New User Account section below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins for steps on how to remove third-party plug-ins.
