Windows 10: My brand-new laptop supposed to have 9-hour battery life but it loses 1% every minute it is...

Please Help

Battery life

Correction on the battery life: if it is the model listed in the Microsoft online store, that one is 8.5 hours and is a laptop model and not a tablet. The tablet model on HP's web site gets 16 hours and 15 minutes but has a lower end CPU.

Bad battery life


After upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on August 1st, my battery life has been reduced by nearly 50% and has not changed since installing Windows 10.

With Windows 8.1, I could usually get about 2 hours 45 minutes worth of battery life on power saver mode with a 100% charge with light usage (internet browsing stuff).

Windows 10 gives me no more than 1 hour 30 minutes of battery life on a 100% charge. I tried the battery saver mode on Windows 10 but it only gives me about 2 minutes extra battery life. My laptop is only a few months old, so the battery is most likely not defective.

I hope Microsoft gets to work on this...
