Now you mention it Marcello... I also erroneously started up the recovery partition and had to sort our the MBR and Grub afterwards. I don't recall having these issues before doing this. I'm not sure this caused the issue though since others posting here haven't mentioned it.

With hindsight, I wish I had only run windows for a few days (torture I know - it is only there for those rare occasions and runs LibreOffice, Firefox and Thunderbird) without booting into Ubuntu to see how things faired. Then I could have been a little more suspicious that Ubuntu somewhow causes the problem.

After updating the BIOS I noticed that the BIOS setting for only charging the battery to 80% had been disabled (it was enabled before). Maybe resetting the BIOS to default values mught re-instate normal behaviour for a period. I'm not in a position to try it right now.
