SOLUTION
Hey guys
So, I solved the issue (for me, at least) a long time ago but forgot to report back. My apologies
Basically,
Settings -> power and sleep -> additional power settings -> change advanced power settings -> battery
Then, change critical battery action and low battery action to do nothing both on battery and plugged in
I don't know if others already solved the problem In a different way, but i Hope that helps
Have a good day

Incase it helps anyone.. I had this Issue.. I was on a website then the screen just went black it said locking with a circle going around then shut down abruptly. Very odd. An orange light on the side flashed when i tried to power up but nothing, After googling etc I plugged in the charger.. no difference.. Turns out the charger was not plugged in at the plug! (*****) it just closes down with low power. no warning of low battery, doesnt say ‘closing down’ it says ‘locking’ .. bloody stupid and probably freaks people. So for me itvwas just flat battery, if not that simple it could be faulty charger or battery, or connections.. not bloody malware or china locking you up! lol.. keep your hair on. Still stupid microsoft.. if it said ‘power low closing down’ it would be easy to understand, now thousands of people are freaking out. No mistake in my opinion. Hope that helps some one not get on some goose chase :-)
Check your laptops battery condition.. If it is not working then remove the battery.. In my case my laptop battery was not working so I removed the battery and it is working fine now
I dont understand plz elaborate your answer did i need to change my battery with new one or just remove it and fix it again
