These steps control when Windows warns you that the battery is at critical level, and what action it takes (like shutting down, hibernating, or showing alerts).\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udee0 Step 1: Adjust Power & Battery Settings\n\n1. Open the **Control Panel** (search for it from Start).  \n2. Go to **Power Options**.  \n3. Next to your current power plan, click **Change plan settings**, then **Change advanced power settings**.  \n4. In the dialog that opens, expand **Battery**. You\u2019ll see these relevant options:  \n   - **Low battery level** \u2013 set the percentage for when \u201clow battery\u201d warning shows.  \n   - **Low battery notification** \u2013 enable or disable the notification.  \n   - **Reserve battery level** \u2013 usually the level for \u201creserve\u201d warning.  \n   - **Critical battery level** \u2013 set how low % before Windows considers the battery critical.  \n   - **Critical battery action** \u2013 choose what Windows does (hibernate, shut down, etc.).  \n5. Set your values (for example: Low battery level = 15%, Critical battery level = 5%) and ensure the **notification** options are set to **On**.  \n6. Click **Apply** \u2192 **OK**. ([tech2geek.net](https://www.tech2geek.net/how-to-fix-missing-low-battery-notifications-in-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Step 2: Make Sure Notifications Are Allowed\n\n- Go to **Settings** \u2192 **System** \u2192 **Notifications**.  \n- Ensure the main **Notifications** toggle is **On**.  \n- Scroll down to make sure notifications are allowed for **Power & Battery** or other system-related categories.  \n- Disable **Focus Assist** (aka **Do Not Disturb**) if it's active\u2014it can silence alerts including battery ones. ([allthings.how](https://allthings.how/how-to-fix-no-low-battery-notification-on-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Step 3: Configure Battery Saver Threshold (Optional but Helpful)\n\n- Navigate to **Settings** \u2192 **System** \u2192 **Power & battery**.  \n- Under **Battery Saver**, set a percentage threshold at which Battery Saver mode automatically kicks in. This can help inform your system to reduce usage earlier but doesn\u2019t replace low or critical battery alerts themselves. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5874307/pc-shuts-down-at-35-charge?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Step 4: Check Sound Settings (If You Want an Audible Alert)\n\n- Open **Control Panel** \u2192 **Sound** \u2192 go to the **Sounds** tab.  \n- Scroll through **Program Events**, find **Critical Battery Alarm** (and **Low Battery Alarm** if desired).  \n- Choose a sound for the event. If it's set to \u201cNone\u201d, you may not hear anything. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4059088/your-battery-is-running-low-notification-with-the?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Troubleshooting Tips\n\nIf you\u2019ve followed all the steps above and still **dont see critical battery notifications**, try these:\n\n- Reset your power plans: open an elevated Command Prompt and run `powercfg -restoredefaultschemes` to revert to the defaults. ([tech2geek.net](https://www.tech2geek.net/how-to-fix-missing-low-battery-notifications-in-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Update or reinstall battery-related drivers via Device Manager: especially the **Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery** driver. ([tech2geek.net](https://www.tech2geek.net/how-to-fix-missing-low-battery-notifications-in-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Make sure crucial Windows services like **Power** and **Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)** are running. ([codinglap.com](https://codinglap.com/how-to-fix-no-low-battery-notification-on-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your laptop brand/model or current settings, I can give you more specific values or guidance just for your device."
