Saving Battery is important when you’re in meetings with a “gaming” device
I have an expensive Lenovo that drains battery quickly, so it’s important that my device doesn’t run out of power within an hour when I’m in a meeting or on the go.
I want to enable Battery Saver, but I don’t want it to stay on when my device is plugged in again.
Let’s configure the energy saving mode to turn on automatically!
Open Windows Settings by press Win + I to open, or search for Settings in start
Navigate to System and open Power & battery
Search for Energy saver and expand to see the options
Select Turn energy saver on automatically when battery level is at and select it to always. This means Battery Saver will kick in as soon as you unplug the charger.
Now when I unplug my device, I get this message:
And plugin it back in, turns off energy saver (without notification).
What is the energy saver in Windows 11?
Energy or battery saver is a feature that reduces background activity, limits notifications, and adjusts screen brightness to help conserve battery life.
By default, Windows enables it when your battery drops below 20%, but we’re going to change that, so it turns on as soon as you unplug your device.
Enabling energy saver as soon as you unplug is great if:
- You want to extend battery life without manually toggling settings.
- You use your laptop on the go and don’t want surprises when the battery drops.
- You prefer having fewer background apps consuming power when on battery.
