I have recently bought a Asus ROG GL552VX from Wal-Mart that runs Windows 10 Pro. Everything worked fine until I put it to sleep mode or shut it down to save some juice. The next morning I woke up, the laptop just drained way down from 57% to 12%. Things even got worse when I put it to sleep during my nap, nothing but a power low warning (80% to 14%). Tried checking everything including scanning for viruses/malwares, removing crappyware and even changing power plan but didn't help. What should I do now? Should I bring it back to Wal-Mart?

Any suggestion or information would help. Thanks.

Haven't upgraded/changed anything since the problem showed up btw.

I had a severe battery drain issue, and also difficulty powering up. I disabled all tasks in the task scheduler and opted out of quick start up in the power options. Both issues resolved which made me ecstatic. My laptop also runs much longer on battery power now.
