Bug: Windows 7 False Battery Warnings

by Mansoor Ahmed on February 3, 2010

Windows 7 is supposed to be one of the most reliable and secure operating systems released by Microsoft. Traditionally bugs are like relatives of Microsoft, same is the case with Windows 7, it is sending the false warnings of battery death. Earlier we reported about some annoying bugs in Windows 7.

Now there is another unusual bug encountered by the owners of Windows 7 notebooks which is giving the incorrect warnings that their batteries are dying.

Windows 7 is telling some users that the battery isn’t holding a charge and needs to be replaced even though the PC is new and battery is also in working condition. It is suspected that may be the BIOS is sending updates that are falsely interpreted as failures in Windows.

There is no fix to this issue, and it has been said that notebook makers are working to fix this issue. Owners are told to contact the PC builder if the error occurs.
