Windows 10: Run program based on battery level

Shortly after I got my laptop, I ran out of battery and I was somehow prompted an option to choose what would the laptop do when running out of battery. I clearly remember having an option to run a specific program. At that time I did not have time to set it up so I kind of ignored it thinking that I would go back to it later.

I am now trying to find out that function again but I cannot find it. I only find alerts and automatic hibernation or sleep, I don't find somewhere a setting where I can tell the computer to run a specific program by itself when it reaches a specific battery level.

It was not a separate App, it was Windows 10.

Did I dream this function or it does exist? If so, could someone help me to find it?
Thank you!

Viewing battery level for Bluetooth Headphones

Hello Jerry my name is Bradford and I'm an Independent Advisor for the Microsoft Community and I'll try to help you find the battery level information for your Bluetooth Headphones. I suggest you try the following steps:

1. Open the "Settings app".

2. Open the page "Devices", then go to "Bluetooth & other devices".

3. On the right, find your device in the list under "Mouse, keyboard, & pen".

Please note that you might have to scroll further down if there is a section labeled "Audio" since Bluetooth Headphones are an Audio device.

4. You will see the battery level indicator next to the device name.

If this doesn't help you find the information you need please let me know so that I can provide other options!
