Microsoft is making it easier to see how much energy your apps use in Windows 11 over a given period by introducing a detailed power consumption page in the latest 23H2 update.
The power consumption page provides a comprehensive report of energy use over the last 24 hours or the last seven days.
It gives a complete picture of how much energy an app consumes overall.
"In use" refers to the energy an app consumes when it is actively being used.
The Windows 11 23H2 update introduces two additional energy recommendations under Settings > System > Power & battery > Energy recommendations.
Some of Microsoft's power-saving recommendations include setting the power mode for maximum energy efficiency, enabling dark mode, adjusting screen brightness for optimal energy efficiency, and setting the device to sleep or turning off the screen after 3 minutes of inactivity.
