How to add full battery charge notification for Windows 10/11

While there's no harm in plugging in a laptop when the battery is fully charged, the fact that Windows doesn't have a built-in notifier to let you know when the laptop is fully charged or nearly full makes many users a bit inconvenient. Such a feature would be useful for users who want to unplug their laptop when possible. Here's how you can add a full battery charge warning to Windows 11/10.
