Here is a copy of the sleep study. It only goes back to the 31st. I am finding it a little difficult to read since it doen't seem to show battery power at start up. Yet, it looks like on 6-1 I was at 86% percent and had only used 5% batter power which would make me conclude it was at 92% percent at startup. I had shut down the evening before at 100%. I may try this evening shutting down at 100% and seeing what the percentage is tomorrow evening.
Battery Drains While Shutdown
I have read many posts and made many attempts to correct this problem without any success.
I was traveling for 3 months and when I returned the battery was completely dead.
Also, each night since my return, the battery drains as much as 12% overnight while shutdown.
I have all MS updates but the problem continues.
Please advise.
THX! :)

Nothing except Windows and all the updates. I experienced a battery drain overnight on the 19th and 20th and each night I still experience a battery drain. Below is the link to the battery report:

Navigate through the registry by expanding these Keysets: HKLM > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power > CsEnabled. Change the value from 1 to 0 and restart.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\CsEnabled (1->0) (change from 1 to 0 and restart)
