Windows 8 will shut down when my battery gets low and gives no warning. It actually doesn’t even shut down, it just turns off. A little bit ago, I noticed that my battery was low, so I hovered over the icon and it said I have 11% left and 33 minutes left. Right after that I stood up to get my charger and as I was doing so, I heard the hard drive click off and the screen went black. It’s done this to me several times and I’m just really getting bothered by it. Especially this time since I lost some unsaved documents that I spent a few hours on. I checked my power settings whenever it came back on and I was right in thinking that nothing should have happened. Here are my settings:
\nCritical battery level: 5%
\nCritical battery action: Hibernate
\nLow battery level: 10%
\nLow battery action: Do nothing
\nLow battery notification: On
\nReserve battery level: 7%<\/p>\n
I’m not entirely sure what the reserve battery level is for, but I know that at 11% (possibly 10% by the time I stood up) should display a notification and do nothing more. Then if the battery gets to 5% it should hibernate. It should never abruptly turn off, unless by chance it gets to 0%.<\/p>\n
My computer is the U46E-BAL7 by Asus, running Windows 8.<\/p>\n
Has anyone else had this trouble or know of a way to fix it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":48},"question-category":[68],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-14553","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-8"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/14553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=14553"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=14553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
