OR switches my laptop to battery

[rainmaster]

Have ASUS ROG Laptop Win 10 professional. When I start OR the PC switches to ' On Battery '.
Can't find any setting in OR that would cause this. Only happens with OR. Anyone got any idea what is happening,

Sounds like it's to be expected.

Hi Lance,
It's very unlikely that Open Rails has anything to do with this "problem"!

Google is your friend here! Have a look at this : https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads...ged-in.208423/ and at the link given further down that thread.

Cheers,

EDIT : Sorry, geepster - you just beat me to it! Yours is the second link I referred to

Thanks for the replies. The Asus article was very enlightening. I have an old Alienware power pack which is about twice the Asus pack power. I'll change the plug & see if it makes any difference. Otherwise I'll just have to use an old desktop that it doesn't happen on. It didn't happen on the Alienware laptop before it died,

Thanks very much for the replies,

Regards,
Lance
