Detect Windows 10 system power state

Question

I'm developing an universal windows app on Windows 10. I need to get System Power States programmatically but I can't find any solutions for that. As it's mentioned in this question there is Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged but is not available in Windows 10.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

@ Hans Passant the main purpose is to create an app available on PC and mobile - anyway, this functionality is needed for PC only. I really hope to find a solution — Choletski, Aug 04 '16 at 15:00

Look at the PowerManager class in Windows.System.Power. It provides a number of properties and events to detect the status of the device's battery and power supply. According to the documentation, this class is available in UWP as of build 10240.

this API is very poor it has only few events for battery power supply - none of `Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged` states... – Choletski Aug 05 '16 at 07:57
Could you not extrapolate the status' from the available events? – Devin Goble Aug 05 '16 at 14:44
This event isn't fire in windows 11 OS. – Rakibul Jun 15 '22 at 06:24
