You finally updated your laptop to Windows 11, and now the battery seems to run out way faster than before. You are not the only one asking, Why does this happen?
I was shocked when my own laptop needed charging after just a couple of hours. it was not like this before What is going on? Sometimes new updates add shiny features, but those can secretly use more power.
Things like fancy animations, extra apps running in the background, or even brighter screen settings can all suck up battery life.
And, after big updates, laptops can be busy fixing or resetting stuff behind the scenes. It’s like your device is tidying up for days after the update, so it needs more energy.
But don’t worry. You can try turning down your brightness, closing apps you are not using and checking if there are more updates; sometimes Windows fixes these things quickly.
I did these, and my battery life totally improved. Honestly, don’t panic; it happens to a lot of us, and it usually gets better soon!
