Power Options in Control Panel or PowerChute?

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

Do I have to turn off all the alarms under Power Options in Control Panel if I am using PowerChute?

When I hooked up my Back-UPS, Windows automatically installed it's drivers and enables some options (see attachment). Notice under Critical Battery Alarm. It says Hibernate when power level reaches 10%. Now do I have to disable this since in PowerChute I have the Runtime set to 5min under Keep my computer on as long as possible?

Thanks

Today I started my PC and the Alarms tab in Control Panel>Power Options was gone. I guess I needed to reboot after installing PowerChute.
