Windows 10: Plug-in status to improve low battery

My laptop often keeps plugged in, but the Win11 system suddenly says that the battery is low and shuts down the machine automatically. How can I solve this problem? I used the system check that comes with the laptop BIOS, and the battery status is normal. But it still says that the battery is low, and it is still plugged in.

Hi Ujjawal,

Follow the steps below and check If you are able to get low battery notification.

Change Critical & Low Level Battery Action.

• To change the Critical and Low Level action for the battery for any Power Plan, you will have to open
  Power Options in the Control Panel > Change Plan Settings >
  Change Advanced Power Settings. In the box which opens, navigate down to the last item, i.e.
  Battery.
• Here for each plan, you can configure and set WHAT your Windows should do, after its battery level drops below certain levels. The options for “while On Battery and “while Plugged In” are:
• Low battery action: Do nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, Shutdown
• Critical battery action: Sleep, Hibernate, Shutdown
• The default for the first is Do nothing and for the second one is
  Hibernate. You can change it to suit your requirements.
