Windows 10: Windows 11 drains batter much faster than Windows 10.

In overall general use please confirm that Windows 11 drains the battery far faster than Windows 10? If you confirm this, I can stop trying to optimise the system.In other responses Microsoft justifies the poor battery usage on Windows 11 by suggesting that the system is being used differently to Windows 10.I do not use Windows 11 in any different way to how I used Windows 10.Windows 11 performs far less effectively than Windows 10. On Windows 10 the battery would last for more than 8 hours and I never once experienced an issue with the laptop.Since upgrading the same laptop to Windows 11 an

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Is Windows 11 draining laptop battery faster?

Thank you, Aymeric for your response. However, it looks like many users on the Internet are raising similar concerns on other forums that, after they upgraded to Windows 11, their laptop battery is draining faster.

So far I stay with Windows 10. Hence dual boot and not an upgrade!

 

Is Windows 11 draining laptop battery faster?

Hi,

I have HP 245 G7 notebook with Windows 10 2004 side by side with Windows 11 22000.318 in dual boot.

While Windows 11 is certainly faster, I notice that it seems to be draining the laptop battery faster too.

While on Windows 10 with normal activities it easily lasts 3.5 to 4 hours, in the case of Windows 11 it reaches less than 10% in just 2 hours. This is despite I have enabled battery saver in Windows 11 as always on.

Also comparing side by side, say when idling at say 90% battery Windows 10 shows 5 hours remaining, at the same time Windows 11 shoes just 2 hours 30 mins remaining.

Is this a known issue with Windows 11 or am I missing something?

Ideally, I expect 11 to be superior to 10, in speed, performance, and power efficiency at least.

Thanks.
