There was no notification on the desktop.The UPS's front panel said it was because of an undervoltage on the mains. Moments ago, my UPS kicked in for almost a minute. I checked the Services, and I see one called "Power" that says "Manages power policy and power policy notifications." That service is running and its startup type is automatic. The option to display the power status in the notification area of the task bar seems to be disabled for desktop devices. The APC website offers deprecated software for managing the UPS, but it seems to have been unmaintained and unsupported for quite a while, so I'm not inclined to install that. It seems to be a generic Microsoft driver from 2006.

In Device Manager, under the Batteries node, there is a HID UPS Battery.

I've connected the UPS to a USB port, and the Battery Saver tab in the Settings control panel applet shows the current charge for the UPS's batteries.
