Laptop no longer hibernates on critical power

Hi Mike,

The laptop's battery is possibly wearing out. Since you haven't change any settings, we suggest that you change the critical battery level a bit higher so that your laptop can perform a hibernation on a much higher percentage than the default. Follow the
steps below:

• Type Power Options on the Start menu search bar.
• Under Battery, click on Critical battery level.
• Chang the default percentage to 10% or higher.
• Click on Apply.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Re: battery power options not working as configured

Re: battery power options not working as configured

I have an HP Pavilion DV7 running Windows 10 w/latest build

Problem: Power settings are not working as I have configured them using win 10 Advanced power options "Battery"

Settings: Critical battery notification "on"
Low Battery Notification "on"

Critical battery action "shutdown" Low battery action "do nothing"

Critical Battery level "9%" Low battery level "20%

Reserve battery level "9%"

PROBLEM - The battery icon displays something other than what it is set in the power options i.e. 20% and then the Low Battery message appears and immediately goes into shutdown. This happens no matter what the battery icon displays (i.e. 26% 75%, 30%, etc)
I have performed the following ...

Windows 10 trouble shooter for battery, HP trouble shooter for battery, SFC trouble shooter report/fix, uninstall/reinstall battery drivers, (holding power button down for 30 seconds) installed a new battery with same results! After plugging in my laptop
and restarting, the icon then displays 9% which is the "Critical power % setting. So, is the battery display icon wrong? or is win 10 using the critical battery setting for low battery action instead of what the the low battery action is set to? The only power
setting that I use that is working is the Sleep action setting. Also, after shutdown occurs the battery charges to 100%. However, if charged before the shutdown occurs, it only charges to 99%.

After further testing I also noticed the following ...

After the shutdown occurs, and plugged back in to recharge, it gets to 100%. When I let it go down to the low battery level, the low battery message appears and it does NOT shutdown. However, after recharging it again, and running the battery back down to
the low battery level, it again, displays the message and automatically goes into shutdown. So, it appears that when you let the battery drain down to low battery level, whatever it is set to, it will recharge to 100%, but if you charge it before it drains
down to low battery level, it only charges to 99% and automatically goes into shutdown before you have a chance to plug it back in. This makes it very difficult to know when this will occur, so I have to keep it plugged in all the time.

Has anyone else reported this problem? If so, what’s the fix?
