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)...

A few days ago I bought a Lenovo laptop which has the configuration:

 

  •  Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.11 GHz Installed
  • RAM 8.00 GB (7.84 GB usable) 
  • Storage 128NVMe SSD + 1TB WD HDD
  • GPU None

 

At windows 10 I get battery backup for almost 7-8 hours but after upgrading to windows 11 is reduced to 2.5-3 hours :suprised: I tried too many tips from google nothing can work. There have many bugs also that is difficult for tech people then I switch to windows 10 again.

    I have the exact problem with my Lenovo Slim 7 Pro Ryzen 9. I used to get about 8h of use on battery on Windows 10 but as soon as I upgraded to Windows 11, the battery got down to less than 3 hours. Totally unusable and reverted asap. I also got into a problem with widgets as they only worked during the first boot-up and after that constantly conusmed 7% of CPU, kicking upp my fans. I will try to upgrade in a couple of months to see if the issue has been resolved. For now, staying with Windows 10...
