Windows 10: Why hasn't Microsoft fixed this years-long issue with no battery warning being issued...

This is a years-long frustration with Windows 10. It's absolutely frustrating that, despite all the various things I've tried, Windows 10 simply shuts down my laptop, even with a 20% battery charge left, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, causing me to LOSE ALL MY WORK! This is terrible software. I expect more from Microsoft. This should be something they should've fixed years ago and is really making me angry and wanting to move to a Mac.

Laptop battery issue

I'm pretty sure the E1505 has "speed step" on it. Double checkthe speed step settings to make sure they are set for long battery life, maybe it's somehow reset itself?

Hi Abdul,

I realize that you are facing battery issues on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

You may shut down the device completely, remove the battery and let it rest for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, place the battery in its place and restart the device to check if the issue persists.

This issue usually occurs when either the battery is faulty or when there is a conflict with the ACPI driver. Try the following steps and check if you are able to reinstall the ACPI drivers.

• 
  Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand the Batteries category.
  
• 
  Under the Batteries category, right-click the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listing, and select Uninstall.
  

WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.

• 
  On the Device Manager Taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes. Alternately, select Action > Scan for hardware changes.
  

Windows will scan your computer for hardware that doesn't have drivers installed, and will install the drivers needed to manage your battery's power.

Keep us informed to help you further.

Thank you.
