It be cool if Windows could identify a UPS as an external battery source and treat it with basic features (albeit limited). Maybe a pop-up warning message or something. Where I live, outages and spikes do occur, at random but not often. In regards to Powerchute, I wish APC would update its...

Just to be sure.... Without powerchute windows will not shutdown on its own, right?

Unfortunately its been long since the software is updated, and in Win8 I always get an "internal communication error".

Windows 8.1 (and upcoming Win10) correctly identifies my APC BackUPS. My question is: do we really need to install a UPS communications software (such as Powerchute) to enable auto-shut down features during a power-out? Does Windows have this feature built-in?
