Battery drain while in sleep mode (Windows 10)

Hi KimD,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have tried. I suggest you to Run the Power Troubleshooter and check if it helps. 

Power troubleshooter will automatically fix some common issues with Power Plans. Run the Power troubleshooter to adjust your computer's power settings. The Power troubleshooter checks things like your computer's timeout settings, which determine how long the computer waits before turning off the monitor display or entering sleep mode. Adjusting these settings can help you conserve power and extend your computer's battery life.

• Press Windows key + W and type Troubleshooting.
• Select Troubleshooting and click on System and Security.
• Click on Power and follow the onscreen steps.

Delete the current power plan and create it again. Refer to the following link to change the power plan to suit your needs. 

Refer to the section: How to create and delete a power plan.

Hello,

My battery is draining by 50% while on sleep mode during the night.

This phenomenon is recent (a week or so). Prior the battery used to decrease by roughly 10%.

I set the WiFi to be turned off while on sleep mode.

Are there any processes still running in the background while on sleep?

Appreciate your assistance.

Best,

Mat

Thanks for the reply.

1- I have a HP 15 Pavilion, model HP 15-d004AU.

2- I do not face the same issue when shutting down, just when i put it in sleep mode.

3- Windows 10 is up to date with the KB 3081436 update, I updated it last night.

Tried the troubleshooting, no problems found.

Thanks!
