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.

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"
Right, that answer was from two years ago, nobody ever solved the issue... as with most Microsoft issues.

Tried all of those options and the lap top still turns off without a low power notice.
Indeed, same situation here.
I tried to summarize all the issues about this problem in one of my past posts
Someone has indicated that that Windows Vista doesn't have any low battery alarm, and the same holds true for Windows 7. But my laptop came with Windows 7 and definitely had a low battery alert. It went away and I can't get it to come back. Is this because I allowed Windows 10 to be downloaded and then removed it to go back to Windows 7? If so, how can I get it back?
