Issues with latest Catalina update

Seems that Apple released a Catalina update last night. Not sure if it was 15.7 or 15.8, but it completely destroyed my computer. The software is working, the issue is that the computer refuses to recognize power cables. So after using the computer for an hour, I no longer have any battery power left (don’t get me started on how poor the battery performance is), and the MacBook Pro will not recognizing any charging cables or chargers. Do not update Catalina!

Try re-applying the stand alone combo update to sort anomalies—

I have had no issues with Catalina since it's debut release (?)
