New Windows 11 laptops could soon see an improvement in battery life, following the introduction of a new feature called ‘Energy Saver’. This feature, which will limit background activities to extend battery life, is currently being tested in preview build 26002 of Windows 11 in the Canary channel.
In addition to the Energy Saver feature, Microsoft has also made improvements to the quick settings panel, allowing for faster and more responsive pop-ups. Furthermore, the ability to turn a VPN on or off with a single click has been introduced in these quick settings.
The impact of the new Energy Saver feature on battery life is yet to be determined, but Microsoft touts it as a more heavy-duty method of extending battery life compared to the battery saver. Interestingly, Energy Saver can also be used on desktop PCs, providing the option to save money on power bills while also making an environmentally-friendly choice.
For a detailed breakdown of the changes in build 26002, visit Microsoft’s blog post. With the cost-of-living crisis persisting, the new Energy Saver could be a welcome addition for users looking to save on power consumption while working from home or using laptops and desktops.
