Will reverting from windows 11 to windows 10 help improve my brand new HP OMEN-17 laptop's battery?

Hello!

 

My battery, with no USB attached (excluding wireless mouse), battery saver enabled, no programs running with the screen brightness at 25%, my PC only lasts a measly 2 and a bit hours before running out completely. I've tried tones of options, most of which are things i've done 20 times over (lower brightness, remove background apps etc.), which don't affect it much. 

 

I've heard that Windows 11 does have an inherent 'battery drain' issue which leads to batterys on some people's laptops going from 6 to 2 hours. 

 

Is this issue legit, and would reverting to windows 10 actually benefit me?

    Gaming laptop generally have battery drain issues coz those laptops require high power and high power consume more battery so my advice is Windows 11 is always better even for battery.. reverting back to Windows 10 is not good idea in any sense.

    Hi, I have a question whether you leave the computer in power at night, as asleep, or always turn off at night and shut down Windows, this is an important question, waiting for an answer.

    Is it a private computer or is it joined to an organization domain?
