Windows 10 gets a much more comprehensive battery page. The new page shows much better how the battery in your laptop, convertible or hybrid tablet is used. Currently, the page is being tested in the Windows 10 Insider version 21313.
When the new layout of the battery page is activated, the page shows how and when the battery is used by means of new graphs. For example, you can see how quickly your battery runs out during the day. The standard is then presented smaller per hour. And when you recharge the battery from it Windows 10device, this is indicated by a small icon of a plug. That icon then hangs above the blue scale.
More options battery page Windows 10
Above the graph you see two buttons: battery level and battery usage (roughly translated: battery level and battery usage). If you press the first button, you will see the aforementioned overview. If you press the second button, you will see an overview of the past week and you can see exactly when your battery went empty and was charged. Microsoft intends to merge the pages for Power Management and Sleep and Battery in the future, but this is not yet in the testing phase. So it doesn’t look like this will be rolled out to normal users in the near future, as testers haven’t seen it yet.
Furthermore, it seems that the page for the battery will change little. For example, you can still see the current battery level at the top. You also see, for example, a warning that the screen uses more energy, because things like the brightness are set high. You can also set that you limit background programs and notifications, so that you save even more energy. You can also still set when your laptop, convertible or hybrid tablet switches to energy-saving mode. The option is not presented in the shared screenshots, but we assume that Microsoft does not change this.
Now you can set the Windows 10 device to activate power-saving mode by default when the battery has more fifty, forty, thirty, twenty and ten percent energy. In addition, there are the options Never and Always, if you prefer. You will still find an overview of energy consumption per application under the new graphs. You can still set the period here. To see the screenshot, usage looks at the past 24 hours, but you can also change that format to the past week.
It is not clear when Microsoft will implement the above changes to the Windows 10 battery page. We can at least expect an update for the operating system next spring, which will change a number of things and will already lay the groundwork for the autumn update. Microsoft itself has not released any information about the changes.
