Windows 10: Battery Drains While Shutdown

Split from this thread.​

I have a 2 month old HP envy. 2 weeks ago after an automatic update, I noticed that my battery is draining completely over night on either sleep or hibernation. Prior to this it was fine.


This seems to be a common problem.


Any advice would be appreciated.


Thanks

Battery drains during Sleep/Shutdown

Hi Rahul,

If you are experiencing battery drains during Sleep or Shutdown, we need to check your battery settings and perform a battery saving. There are two related categories that we need to visit. These are the Power & sleep. Follow the steps below:

• Open the Action Center and click System.
• Select Power & sleep.
• Choose your desired time for Screen and Sleep.
• Under Related settings, click Additional power settings.
• We will be prompted to Power Options' control panel.
• Select Change when the computer sleeps.
• We need to customize our power plan, choose between Balanced (recommended) or
  Power Saver.

Let's proceed with battery saving, battery saver feature is the same kind of tools that can be found in mobile phones and tablets. It is off by default and won't turn on if your device is charging. These are the steps:

• Go to the Action Center and choose System.
• Click Battery saver.
• Select Battery saver settings. (Note: Battery saver is set to turn on at 20%, but you can set that higher or lower.)
  
• Adjust the Battery saver to your desired percentage.

Using these two processes will definitely improve your battery's life.

Let us know if you have other concerns.

 

C6 battery drain too fast

Failing battery or draining issues?


Bang! Problem solved! I also posted this in Neowin: Do I have a failing battery? Or is a program draining the heck out of it? - Surface Pro 3 - Hardware Hangout - Neowin Forums

I was suggested to reinstall the drivers. Device Manager didn't expressed any anomalies, but reinstalling the drivers yielded outstanding results. The device now lasted 4 hours and 23 minutes. The last hour and 23 minute was with the device playing music in Media Player Classic with the display always-on at 100% brightness and the volume 80%.

Thanks for everything *Biggrin *Biggrin *Biggrin
