However, that notification doesn’t always work. Is the low battery alert not popping up before your laptop’s or notebook’s battery runs out? This is how you can fix a battery notification that isn’t working in Windows 10.

Battery notification won’t work on PC [FIX]

1. Switch the Battery Notification on

Windows includes a couple of low-battery notification settings. Switching those settings on, if they’re off, will probably restore the notification in Windows 10. This is how you can switch the low battery alert on.

2. Configure the Low Battery Level

Check the battery level settings if the notification isn’t popping up. Those options adjust the percentage charge required for the notification to pop up. Raise the battery level percentages to about 25% if they’re below 10%.

3. Configure the Critical Battery Action Settings

You might also need to configure the critical battery action settings. Click Battery > Critical battery action to expand its options as in the snapshot directly below. Click On battery and select Shut down on its drop-down menu. Press the Apply button to apply the new settings.

4. Restore the Power Plan Settings to Default

Restoring the power plan settings to their default configurations can also resolve the battery notification issue. This resolution requires you to adjust all three power plan settings separately. You can restore the default settings by selecting Balanced, Power Saver, and High Performance on the drop-down menu at the top of the Power Options window. Press the Restore plan defaults button, and click the Yes option to confirm.

5. Replace Your Laptop’s Battery

If you have an older laptop or notebook, the low battery notification alert might not need fixing. Your laptop’s battery might have deteriorated considerably. If that is the case, the PC might go off with the battery at the 20-30 percent level when unplugged. Thus, the PC shuts down before its battery has dropped to the required percentage charge for the notification to pop up. SPONSORED You can replace user-serviceable batteries yourself. Slide the latch at the bottom of the laptop to remove the battery. Those without a user-serviceable battery can request a replacement from the laptop’s manufacturer.

6. Add an Alternative Battery Notification to Windows

You don’t need to fix the Windows 10 battery notifications, as there are alternatives. A few third-party programs provide alternative battery level alerts and alarms, such as BatteryBar Pro and Battery Alarm. You can also set up a script in Notepad, or other text editors, that opens a notification window when the charge has dropped below a specified percentage. This is how you can set up a new low-battery alert for Windows. The window alert below will open when your laptop’s battery drops below 20 percent. The notification also has an additional audio effect. You can adjust when the window opens by editing the iPercent < 20 value in the script. For example, the notification will pop up at 24 percent with the iPercent value at 25. So, if you can’t fix the low battery notification in Windows, you can always replace it with something else. However, adjusting the battery settings in Windows will usually fix the notification. In the same vein, if you want to know how to fix a corrupt battery alert, check our detailed guide.
