Alienware 14 Battery stop at 91% (plugged in, not charging) after window 10 update.

Hey guys, 

For some reason my alienware 14 battery charging is playing up after window 10 update. I just purchased new AC adapter and changed it but still having the problem. It would charge then would stop then charge again, it kinda annoying with my brightness changing from 100 to 50% when it stop charging then back to 100 when it start charging again. It won't charge to 100% either, it would just stopped at 91% and would say (plugged in, not charging) . I tried every solution I could and still having same problem.  Would buying a new battery would fix this?

Expresscharge is such a bad idea.  I'm not sure why they allow it as it damages the battery over time quicker.

I put standard on my Alienware 17 R3.  I seem to get more battery life too.

Do you think it could be battery? Planning to get a new one but just scared it might still be doing it even after putting new battery in.
