Windows 10: Battery Draining on sleep mode

I am having issues with battery life while my computer is on sleep mode. I notice that my battery is draining really fast even on sleep mode and the majority battery usage is from "Windows Default Lock Screen". On battery usage by app "Windows Default Lock Screen" is responsible for 86% of usage even during inactive hours. I have the computer set to go to sleep after 3 minutes of inactivity both while plugged in and on battery, and the problem still persists. Please help me.

Battery drains while on sleep mode.


even mine has a slow battery drain, using Win 8.1. Even when powered off, not in sleep or hibernate, but off. It still uses the battery to keep the clock going.
Turn off fast start, as suggested, hibernate over sleep as it uses less power, and if you aren't going to use it for several hours, shut it off.

Sleep Mode has never been efficient. In all my years of using laptops, I've always just turned them off and on. Battery drain is normal for sleep mode. Some people have had issues with the laptops not powering off completely and draining the battery, but if that's your issue, there is an easy fix. You turn off Fast Startup and check a setting in Device Management under Intel Management Engine.

 

Battery drain in sleep mode

Hi,

I have an Asus UX430U and it's draining the battery when in sleep mode.

The cpu is running when in sleep mode. I suppose it should not happen.

The laptop is getting really hot and the whole battery goes off in around 1 hour in sleep mode.

Thanks to anyone who could help.
