- Windows 11 has a new energy saving functionality in tests
- It starts when you leave your laptop for a while
- While you are absent, the power management settings guarantee that a minimum battery quantity is used – and when you return, things come back to normal
Windows 11 is expected to receive new capacities to preserve the battery life of your laptop with the introduction of a new feature in tests recently.
Windows the last resumed it, the electric management functionality being revealed in an overview version from a few weeks a few weeks ago (which the site missed at the time, and I did it too).
Microsoft rather calls this functionality “Management of the power processor power power”, but to be fair, it describes how it works.
The idea is that when you leave your laptop to go something else, and maybe being distracted, Windows 11 will notice that you have gone and no longer interact with the device.
In these cases, after a defined period of time, the windows will apply power reduction measures to extend the battery life, because even if you do not use the laptop, you do not worry about what it could do for performance (obviously).
When you return to your device and start using it, Microsoft promises that “full performance [is] restored instantly ”as you hope.
Analysis: promises and warnings
There is no drawback here, then, at least if what Microsoft maintains here is true – that as soon as you come back to use your device, full performance are immediately Back at the end in. If there is a little discrepancy in terms of reactivity, it could be boring, depending on how much – but we will take Microsoft’s word at its nominal value, it will not be a problem.
The company mentions a warning, however, that Windows 11 users in the electric economy will vary. They will depend on the electrical plan chosen in the operating system and how your laptop is connected, as well as the electrical management parameters of the processor as defined by the manufacturer.
In the latter case, this means that there can be factors that the manufacturer of laptops has implemented which affect the battery life that functionality can preserve.
If you do not want this feature, there will be apparently a way to deactivate it, probably under the Windows 11 power management settings. I do not see why you would not want additional battery savings to happen in this way, however, the functionality of the functionality works as perfectly as Microsoft suggests.
With this new power management deception in tests now, it seems that there is a good chance that it arrives with Windows 11 25:2:2h later this year. This is a region on which Microsoft works a lot recently, in particular by bringing the reworked energy savings with Windows 11 24h2.
