I posted this question earlier to the microsoft site. Also, it's quite an old article, so the issue is unlikely to be around now, and I don't have access to the registry anyway (which is the solution referenced). While posting this, I was referred to this superuser page, but the symptoms aren't exactly the same, i.e., I don't see a shutdown upon powering up, I see a powerup process as if I had shut down instead of hibernated. Is there any other system setting that could be responsible for this? My account is a non-administrator account.

Apparently, Windows at forcibly shut down rather than hibernating, even though my power settings specified the latter.

My previous login session was gone, and I had to clean up temporary files. When I powered up this morning, however, I got the warning the Windows shut down abnormally, and I selected to boot up as normal. I thought that is what happened last night, after I got the battery warning, and then when the display faded out shortly after that, and the hard disk started spinning. According to Power Options, my laptop is set to hibernate when the battery level becomes critical, which is defined as 2%.
