Are you frustrated by persistent “PC isn’t charging” or “Slow charger” warnings on your Windows 11/10 PC? These notifications are meant to alert users about sub-par or sub-optimal charging conditions, but they can become annoying if you’re already aware. Here’s how you can disable these warnings, with options for Windows PC.
How to disable PC isn’t charging or slow charger warnings on Windows 11/10
Follow these suggestions to disable the PC isn’t charging or Slow charger warning on the Windows PC
- Disable via USB Settings
- Modify the Windows Registry
- Disable notifications from Battery Saver
1] Disable via USB Settings
This is the simplest method and requires no administrator privileges.
- Open the Start menu and search for USB Settings.
- Select USB Settings or Bluetooth & devices -> USB (in Windows 11).
- Uncheck the option:
- Windows 11: Show a notification if this PC is charging slowly over USB.
- Windows 10: Notify me if my PC is charging slowly over USB.
This change is easy to reverse if needed and doesn’t involve editing the registry.
2] Modify the Windows Registry
For those who prefer working directly in the registry or cannot find the USB settings:
- Press Win +R type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\USB
- Find or create a DWORD (32-bit) value named NotifyOnWeakCharger.
- Set its value to 0 to disable the warning.
Alternatively, you can use the below in a notepad, save it as a REG file, and run to apply the changes.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\USB]
"NotifyOnWeakCharger"=dword:00000000

3] Disable notifications from Battery Saver
On some systems (e.g., Dell XPS or Vostro with USB-C chargers), the “slow charger” notification may come from Battery Saver rather than USB settings.
- Open Settings > System > Notifications.
- Scroll to Notifications from apps and other senders.
- Locate Battery Saver and turn notifications Off.
Note: This will disable all notifications from Battery Saver, so keep an eye on your battery status manually if you choose this option.
That said, Windows 11 has multiple ways to disable these warnings. You can use the USB settings change (Method 1), which works for most users, and if the notification persists, disabling Battery Saver notifications (Method 3) is a more aggressive solution but may override the USB-specific setting.
Will disabling the “Slow charger” warning affect my PC’s charging speed or performance?
No, disabling the notification does not impact your PC’s charging speed or performance. It simply stops the system from alerting you about charging conditions. Your device will continue to charge as usual based on the power source’s capability.

Can I selectively disable notifications for specific USB ports or devices?
Unfortunately, Windows does not currently offer the option to disable “slow charger” notifications for specific USB ports or devices. The setting applies in all cases, meaning it will stop notifications for all USB charging scenarios.
