Summary

  • Windows 11 users can check battery usage by identifying power-hungry apps using the Task Manager, which offers detailed power statistics, displaying applications that are draining the battery faster
  • Applications with ‘very high’ power usage categories can drain a laptop battery up to three times faster than normal, such as video editing software or cloud synchronization tools
  • Web browsers use a lot of battery power, especially when many tabs are open, or extensions are running, so limiting these can increase battery life
  • It is recommended to right-click on the application in Task Manager and select ‘End task’ for immediate battery relief, and to regularly check power usage statistics to extend a laptop’s runtime between charges
