Step 5: yes will open the Power Options pop-up window. Expand the Battery section. Here you will find various options regarding the battery that you need to check and set according to your preferences.

Step 6: starts by expanding the low battery notification. Now make sure it is displayed next to both “On battery” and “Connected” options. If Off is displayed, click on it and select On from the drop-down box. Click Apply to save the changes.


Step 7: now expand Low Battery and check the percentage. If it is extremely low, increase it by at least 15 to 25%. Click Apply.

Step 8: allo likewise, expand Low Battery Action. Select Do nothing for the two options. This will prevent your PC from shutting down, sleeping or hibernating as soon as the battery reaches the low threshold.

Step 9: repeat steps 6-9 for the critical battery. That is, enable its notification and set the critical battery level (it should be lower than the low battery level). Also, set the Battery Critical action to Hibernate instead of Stop, making sure you don't lose any unsaved work. Click Apply.

Final report: make sure not to maintain the critical battery level more than the low battery level.

2. Change the battery saver percentage

The battery saver mode on Windows 10 may also interfere with the low battery warning. Typically, Battery Saver is set to enable at 20% battery level. If the low battery notification is set to less than 20% in method 1, you may not receive the notification. This happens because battery saver is enabled at 20%, which limits some notifications.

You can reduce the battery percentage for Battery Saver by going to Windows 10 Settings> System> Battery. Change the percentage to “Automatically turn on battery saver at”. Alternatively, keep the low battery notification above 20% in method 1.


Suggestion: Battery saver can also be enabled manually. Check if it is disabled.
