Windows 10: Does my device get the improved battery life and power efficiency in 1909?

hi all:

Will my device get the improved battery life and power efficiency in 1909? Acer Aspire 5 A515-52G-57VG. Is there a way to check if mine will get it? I have Intel Core i5-8265U.

Windows 10 version 1909 Improvement In Battery Life + Performance ?

Hi,

One of the change-logs for Windows 10 1909 talks about improvements in general battery life and power efficiency for devices with certain processors & introducing a new processor rotation policy that distributes work more fairly among these favored cores.

I cannot find anywhere which processors will actually benefit from this improvement. Is there a list Microsoft published which specify which processes / devices would benefit from this change?

Thanks,

- Matt

 

Battery Efficiency

Hi Stephen,

We can give you some tips to maximize the efficiency of your PC's battery. Here are these tips:

Reduce Screen Brightness.

• Display is the biggest battery drain on any modern portable electronic device. Reducing your PC's brightness decreases the energy drain on your PC's battery. So, just keep your PC's brightness as low as possible depending on the situation.

Set your Display to Automatically Turn Off

• By accessing the Power options, you can adjust the time where your PC's display automatically turns off. Just set
  Dim the display to 1 minute, Turn off the display to
  2 minutes, and Put the computer to sleep to
  15 minutes.

Disable Bluetooth and WiFi when not in use

• Wireless connections that are turned on drains your PC's battery. Simply urning them off when unused increases your PC's battery life by 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Unplug Charger When Fully Charged

• Overcharging reduces your PC's battery life and efficiency. Consistent overcharging considerably decreases the battery life of your Laptop. We recommend unplugging your charger when your PC is fully charged. Also refrain from using your PC while charging
  unless needed to.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

Regards.
