Sorry in advance for this slightly longer post, but I felt like this question needed a little bit of background info..
I just bought a new CyberPower UPS for my desktop and wanted to set some of my scheduled tasks in Task Scheduler to behave differently based on if the computer is on battery power or not. (For example: Not starting a particular task if on battery power.) When I connected the UPS to the computer via USB for the first time, Windows 10 detected it, installed some drivers automatically and showed the little battery icon in the task tray like it would a laptop. I thought 'Great! Windows knows the state of my UPS (Charging, discharging, etc)'. Which, logically, Windows would need to know in order to control tasks based on power source. I then proceed to install CyberPower's PowerPanel Personal Edition (PPPE). However, while PPPE works fine and shows the state of the UPS in the program, the battery icon in windows has disappeared. This then leads into my question: With PPPE installed, does Windows still know the state of my UPS? Or is PPPE blocking that info from getting to the operating system so that the software can retain control of the computer's power behaviors when on battery? I ask this because I would rather not wait until I have a power problem to figure out that my tasks aren't behaving the way I want them to. Thanks.
Learning has never been so easy!
When CyberPower System's PowerPanel software is installed it replaces Windows' original Power Option driver with PowerPanel’s driver. As a result, Spiceworks is not able to query the 'win32_battery' WMI value to get UPS data (access the UPS information via WMI API). This is a simple work around to allow PowerPanel and Spiceworks to co-exist.
Note: This work around has been tested with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8.1 and is assumed to work with other Windows versions.

Gta 5 3dm crack only. Look again in the Batteries category and verify that the previous CyberPower Battery Backup has now been replaced with HID UPS Battery.
To allow CyberPower Systems' UPS PowerPanel software to work together with Spiceworks all you need to do is a Driver Roll Back so Windows uses HID UPS Battery instead of CyberPower Battery Backup.
Big shout out to Kevin Mauldin who brought this to our attention and worked with Spiceworks support (Peter Brost and Brendan Smith) to find out why it wasn't working. Geometry dash play for free pc download. Thanks for your help and support!! 1 CommentCyberpower Ups Usb Software
