Windows 10: Unusual battery drainage after Windows update

I've noticed my gaming laptop battery drains (while plugged in) while I'm gaming. This wasn't the case before: I could game for hours on end with the battery staying at 100%

I think this draining was introduced with the most recent Windows January update.

Is there a way to remedy this?

My specs:

Acer Helios 500, i7-8750H, GTX 1070 (Undervolted CPU and no overclocking) Win10 home, build 1909 (up to date) Using a 230W power brick

Windows 10 - Laptop battery drainage while shutdown and unpluged


I upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 recently. The laptop battery is now draining 20% overnight when the laptop is shutdown and unplugged. With Windows 7 the battery drainage was negligible (even over a week). The laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad Type 1143-3FU. The Thinkpad has a red light which glows while on. After shutdown it now flashes a few times after shutdown before stopping (rather than just going out) which indicates to me that something is still running, but I do not know what. The laptop battery is good. The computer does not appear to be hibernating because when I start the computer it shows the Lenovo screen first thing. Any suggestions?

Then, what could be the reason for the drainage if the device is off? battery getting old? Device receive nov. 07
