Since then it has been improving its functions continuously and integrating with all the versions of Windows with an admirably increasing pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most welcomed improvements was the cross-platform integration and compatibility. Using Cortana has definitely become easier over time. There are, however, some minor and unfortunate glitches that Microsoft has yet to fix. One especially frustrating problem is when there is no warning for low battery using Cortana. This mishap happens precisely because of the cross-platform integration, and in this article, we will explain how to fix this nuisance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you have to enable low battery notifications in Windows 10 Mobile<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This might be the source of the problem, but not in its entirety. You have to be logged in with the same Microsoft account in both Windows 10PC and Windows 10 Mobile devices to make this fix work. Next, proceed with this guide to enable cross-platform notifications:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 1. Access Cortana on your Windows 10 Mobile device<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 2. Open Notebook and choose Settings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 3. Find the setting \u201cSend notifications between devices\u201d and check if it\u2019s turned on. If it\u2019s not, turn it on. \u00a0This way you have allowed communication between Cortana on your PC and your phone.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3145 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/158-1.jpg\" alt=\"Turn \u201cSend notifications between devices\u201d to On\" width=\"331\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/158-1.jpg 331w, https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/158-1-175x300.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you were using two different Microsoft accounts or if your notifications were off, you probably didn\u2019t receive alerts about new messages, missed phones calls, and your battery status.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, you have to enable notifications between devices on your Windows 10 PC<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this part of the guide is unclear, it\u2019s because you need to make the same changes to the settings on your computer as to your mobile phone for this fix to work. They are, after all, connected into one cross-platform system that Cortana is using.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 1. Open Cortana settings on your computer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 2. Find the setting called \u201cSend notifications between devices\u201d and check that it\u2019s on. Turn it on if it\u2019s turned off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 3. You will get a list of all your devices connected to one network. Choose the ones that you want to receive notifications from and which ones will be allowed to send you the information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 4. When you choose one of the devices you need to get notifications from, go to \u201cSync Notifications with mobile device\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 5. Select \u201cMobile App Notifications\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 6. Find low Battery Warnings\u201d and select this option. This will trigger the sending of a notification \u00a0to your PC whenever your mobile is on low battery, and you will get a mobile notification if your computer\u2019s battery is low.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, we should address the issue you are having with your battery life<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your computer often experiences low battery issues, you should check the hardware and see if the problem is with some settings you can tweak. To check the battery life, you can use the built-in addition in Windows 10 called Battery Saver. Use the Windows key +I shortcut and then follow this pathway: System &gt; Battery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3147 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/159.jpg\" alt=\"Go to Battery.\" width=\"802\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/159.jpg 802w, https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/159-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/159-768x560.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, using Cortana on Windows 10 really uses up the battery life, since the functions it can carry out are quite broad. If, however, you are not using Cortana and you have checked there is no other reason for your battery dying so fast, you should try defragmenting your disk. If you are an experienced technician, you can probably use a fix-it guide and do it yourself, but if you are not &#8211; we suggest you use a free tool such as<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/software\/disk-defrag\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auslogics Disk Defrag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It will help you to defragment an average-size hard drive in less than 10 minutes, and it\u2019s absolutely free. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3148 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/160.png\" alt=\"Defrag your disk to improve your PC performance.\" width=\"1003\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/160.png 1003w, https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/160-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/160-768x550.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1003px) 100vw, 1003px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cortana is a voice-activated virtual assistant that Microsoft introduced to the world in 2014 (originally as part of a suite for Windows 8.1).
