Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste this command:

[QUOTE=Caledon Ken;1203275]....., make sure it notifies, set what to do on levels and monitor.....[/QUOTE
Obviously can't check battery, but I set parameters on display and hard drive low so I'd get a quick response
and they both work...

Check to see if there was a typo.
C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -energy -output c:/energy-report.html

First, I'm not very good at Command Prompt syntax: so my sole experience here was to correct C:/ to c:\. I tried to replace that second c:\ with Caledon Ken's alternate which would place the report on the desktop.
In all cases got the same error message:
'C:\Windows\System32' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Now, I don't really have a clue, but wonder if it's saying, the 'C:\Windows\System32' is the 'wrong' part of the
command. If I'm saying stupid things, tell me, don't know what I'm talking about.
That said, I'm quitting for the evening. I still would like to see what that command will generate on my computer. I'm leaning heavily to a deadish battery as cause given all the things that have been tried (second choice would be Microsoft screwing up the 1703 update). There's a store in Mississauga that fixes cellphones and computers, maybe they would have even a used battery that could be tried.
With that, I say until the next time, Happy Trails to you...

This was the in the earlier post and worked again for administrative command prompt:

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -energy -output c:/energy-report.html

Follow these steps:
They are all keyboard entries:
1) win + x keys (simultaneously)
2) a
3) alt + y keys (simultaneously)
This should open administrative command prompt.
4) copy and paste: C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -energy -output c:/energy-report.html

Got it to work, except not exactly as indicated
I f I use the whole line including the output report, Get an error that it doesn't seem to find powercfg, but it is in in System32.
So I started stripping code from the right going left, i.e the C:/ output. That didn't work either.
Next from the right was the -output, so I stripped that and got a report into windows\system 32.
Going to look at it after I write down the summary of errors.
Summary- efficiency problems found
3 errors
2 warnings
26 informational
I will post report retails shortly
