battery draining issue after installaiton of windows 11
itsdinesh1983 Same issue on my XPS 7590. I replaced the battery thinking it had warn out, but to no avail. They really messed up with this one, I am thinking about switching to MacBook now (very painful thought)
NPHoffmann8703 could you run a battery health report as mentioned in my comment here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-insider-program/battery-draining-issue-after-installaiton-of-windows-11/m-p/3050337/highlight/true#M13654 and report back if you're seeing the same thing
- What information are you looking for specifically? Old battery max capacity was 72Whr/97, new one is 93/97. On windows I was getting 10 - 14 hr battery, now I am getting 2-4 hrs tops.
- There's a link on how to run a battery health report. If you run that and check under battery capacity you can see capacity history.
For me it started dropping the day of upgrade and within 3 weeks was down to 5%.
If you could check that and see if similar happened to you.- Ah I didn’t do a batterycfg reading before I upgraded, only after.
