Windows 10: Windows 11 22H2 causing MAJOR battery and performance issues.

Dear Microsoft development team, I just updated to the latest 22H2 version, and since then, my battery life has immensely decreased. My laptop Dell G15 5511 used to give a battery life of a at least 10 hours on balanced mode and 12-14 hours on Ultimate power savings, and now it is reduced to 3-4 hours on Ultimate power savings. I have tried everything from reducing the display refresh rate to 60Hz, reducing Processor's power limit, Under-volting the CPU, But the issue persists.Moreover, the performance has also decreased. On Max performance mode, my laptop's benchmarks are decreased. I tri

Windows 11 22H2 causing MAJOR problems (going to sleep randomly, killing battery life)

I just upgraded to Windows 11 22H2 and my computer has been acting up. For one, the battery life got close to halved (I was getting around 7-8 hours and now I'm getting 4-5 hours) and it also randomly goes to sleep (like once every 5-15 minutes) and signs me out on battery. I've already triple-checked Settings & control panel (power plan) and made sure that it doesn't go to sleep, yet it still happens. I've already updated all my drivers as well (most notably the NVIDIA drivers) and Windows Update says my system is up to date.

And just now as I was typing my computer went straight to sleep and then BSOD'd on startup. It said it was a 'WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' which supposedly means it's a hardware-related issue? But I highly doubt it as this only started happening the moment I upgraded to 22H2.

The only other solution I can think of is rolling back 22H2, but would that also delete my files (like the files & programs I created/downloaded under 22H2)?
