I’ve got a HP EliteDesk 800 G5 with Core i7 CPU and 32 GB RAM. How do you guys handle load shedding situations? I have a mini UPS for the router and ONU, and a 650V one for the mini PC. I don’t think it will give me more than 20 minutes backup. Should I gracefully shutdown after 10-15 minutes when electricity is gone and automatically boot up when electricity is back?

Some (most?) UPSs have a way for them to communicate to the PC so that the PC can automatically cleanly shutdown. You should look into that if its available on your UPS.
@CameronDev Unfortuanately, I didn’t think about this before buying the UPS. IT doesn’t support such features. Maybe I could get a device that can report power outage over the network and take actions accordingly.
Bummer. You could get a cheap IoT light bulb/smart plug and ping it in a script, when it times out, start the shutdown. Could be a fun project.
