Battery drain issues post upgrading to Windows 11
Hi, I have got a Dell XPS laptop (16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz) and to my knowledge this has one of the better battery life (approx. 7-8 hours post charging)...
The reason why I stuck with win11 even after the 10 day trial - I love everything about it. the power issue is the only thing that bugs me and I'm only giving a suggestion to others with laptops in case they might experience the same issue.
Check your power options very closely.
It's set to balanced now. Anything I should do to fix it? Might do the things tomorrow since it's almost midnight in my timezone
- We may not have the same issue as mine Surface Book was going black and I thought it was the battery. It wasn't the battery at all, it was "put the computer to sleep" when on battery. Good luck.
Ah, it's a different issue. I did once experience that issue of yours on my old family laptop though, back in 2015 in middleschool, after I got a virus in it 😂
My problem is just the battery life. It went from 3-4 hours (normal usage for school) in win10, to just 45 minutes-1hour in win11. I've searched other microsoft support threads and it seems that a lot of people are experiencing the same thing. Most of their problems are fixed *by downgrading back to windows 10 until further notice by microsoft. The whole situation here is basically just me trying to help others too 😁EDIT: Really? Emojis dont work here? >.>
