• A battery that is physically and functionally below standard.
• Power settings set to energy conserving and in an incorrect way.

How to Fix Laptop Shutting Down Without Low Battery Notification

1. Enable Notifications

If Do Not Disturb mode is turned on, then you will not be able to see the low battery notification if it comes. To deactivate it, be sure to follow these steps:

• Click on the Time icon in the Taskbar.
• If the bell icon is darker in color, then click on it to turn off Do Not Disturb mode.
• Set up system-level notifications in this manner:

• Go to Settings > System > Notifications.
• Move the Notifications slider to the right in the Notifications settings found under Notifications.

2. Enable Low Battery Notification in Power Options

When the low battery notifications option is disabled, you will be able to turn it on this way:

• Go to the Control Panel and under “View by” select Small icons.
• Click Power Options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings.
• Expand Battery > Low battery notification and set it Up.
• Change Low battery level percentage as required (e.g., 20%).

3. Apply Energy Recommendations

Windows 11 will provide energy recommendations to save your battery life:

• Go to the Settings > System > Power & battery.
• Press the Energy recommendations button.
• Select Apply All to apply the recommended settings.

• This won’t resolve the issue with notifications, but will certainly prolong battery life and improve of its operation.

4. Check Battery Health

When the battery is in a degraded condition, you might get a message telling you that the system will shut down soon. Above all, you should first generate a battery status report to confirm this if you need to:

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
• Often, the specific code piece will be requested as follows:

   powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery_report.html"

• Open the generated battery_report.html file from the C drive.
• Check the Installed batteries section:
  • Compare Design Capacity and Full Charge Capacity.
  • If Full Charge Capacity is below 60% of Design Capacity, the battery is degraded.
• Change the battery, if necessary.

Final Thoughts

If your Windows 11 laptop shuts down without displaying a low battery notification, the problem is most often fixed by enabling notifications, adjusting Power Options, or checking battery health. Follow the above steps to make sure that your work will not be lost due to an unexpected shutdown again. keep-update
