Windows 10: Windows explorer drains battery after latest windows update

I have Dell Inspiron i5577 laptop which I habe purchased just 5 months ago... After last windows 1803 update, I noticed major issue in battery draining so I checked the battery usage of apps.... And I found out that Windows explorer is eating around 50-60% battery. Before battery backup was around 7+ hrs and now its less than 4 hrs. I tried updating all drivers and try power troubleshshooting ttoo... But there is no difference... Battery is still draining fast.

Windows 10 Tweaks

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
