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"
Did you had a solution for this problem, I'm having exactly the same problem with my laptop
In reply to this comment, and also to all of the comments about how to set the settings in "power options":
In the power options I set my computer give a warning when the battery gets to 10%, and to hibernate when it gets to 5%, but it always just shuts off, and windows is never shut down properly. I never get a low battery notification, and it never hibernates.
I have tried changing the setting to 20% for low battery and 15% for critical, and setting it to sleep instead of hibernate, so I'll see if that helps. I'll let you know if it does. Otherwise, they REALLY need to fix this!
This is insane
I got the exact same problem with my HP envy15, i bought it about a year ago and one day it suddenly stop showing the low battery warning , i have tried everything i know to check the battery status, the settings, i've been reading forum entries for the last week and there is no answer to this issued.
Starting to get worried about this...
Correct, I did try every possible solutions without any luck, the way it shut off is also not normal,
like it roughly lost power with a click sound.
