Here are some potential workarounds that you can try:

  1. Enable battery saver mode in Windows 11 settings.
  2. Reduce the time when a display should turn off automatically.
  3. Reinstall Battery Drivers: Press Windows key + X, Go to Device Manager, Expand the Batteries, Right-click then uninstall all drivers there, Restart the PC and check it again2.
  4. Do a clean boot: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.
  5. Restore default power options: Press Windows key + R then type: powercfg -restoredefaultschemes, Restart PC and check2.
  6. Run power Troubleshooter: Press Windows key + R then type: msdt.exe /id PowerDiagnostic, Click OK then follow the prompt to run the power troubleshooter, Restart the device after.

 

I hope these suggestions help you improve your laptop’s battery life!
