Security News > 2021 > February > Windows 10 is getting revamped battery settings and usage stats
Windows 10 is getting a redesigned 'Battery' settings page that provides detailed graphs showing how your mobile device uses the battery.
In yesterday's release of the Windows 10 Insider build 21313, a Windows internals sleuth known as Albacore discovered a new hidden feature for a new in-development Battery settings page.
Once enabled, opening the Battery settings will display new graphs in the Usage information section that show the device's battery level or battery usage over time.
Selecting the 'Battery usage' option will switch to a bar graph showing the battery usage over the past seven days.
If you wish to test this new feature now, you can join the Windows Insider programs and install Windows 10 preview build 21313 or later.
If the Battery settings page does not go back to its standard page, restart Windows 10.
