I purchased my laptop now for about 6 months and the most annoying part is that there is never a low battery notification before my laptop hibernates. It has never shown up once.
The battery meter is active and shown in my system tray. I have gone into power options, changed advanced battery options for low, critical, and reserve levels as well as turned ON low battery notification. In system tray properties > notification area > customize > I have also selected "show icon and notifications".
The windows 7 microsoft website as well as many other forums only suggest to do these 2 things. I HAVE done these two things, as they were the original settings when I bought this laptop new...what else can I do? Is there a patch, download, anything?! I would rather not have to install 3rd party software. I would just like my laptop to function properly. I am not a heavy gamer or student, I just use my laptop to surf the web and watch videos. I also use free Avira antivirus, if any of this is important to why a battery notification won't show up.
Edit: My friend and I bought the exact same computer on the same day. His shows notifications and mine doesn't, so I know it's possible.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Just open your
"control panel"
and then "power option" then
"change advance power settings"
there select the profile you want to active( power saver ,high performance etc.)
Then scroll down to "battery" expand it and find "low battery notification" and turn "on" for both "on battery" and "plugged in" and you will done.
Note :- not necessary to turn it on for "plugged in"
Is it your solution to the problem? Or have you just found 0% and 'do nothing'?
I started seeing this issue since upgrading to Windows 10 recently.
Looking at the advanced power settings pointed me to the problem.
Basically, get to 0%, do nothing, but show notification. oh wait, no battery left, turn off. Woops
Change all these values to something higher than 0% and the action as desired for each of your plans.
It's 2016 and I have this issue. The notification used to always annoy me as it tabbed me out of my games, but it's definitely worse to not notice the plug fell out and have the computer shut down mid game. I've probably had it for a year now, but I honestly haven't kept track.
I did this and it didn't help. But it brought me to my solution where I went to the advanced settings and turned the notification at 10% OFF, clicked apply and then went in again, turned them to ON, clicked apply and voilà, it worked.
I hope this helps other ppl too :)
Can you give me a little bit deeper explanation? Thank you
