Windows 11 battery draining in sleep mode

Anonymous

Hi everyone,

After the upgrade to Windows 11, I've found that my laptop won't go to sleep after closing the lid. The fan keeps making noise with the lid closed, and the battery is drained.

When opening the lid again, the computer won't respond to anything (blank screen, power button does nothing, keyboard doesn't respond), but it's active because the fan is working.

This was working fine before the upgrade and is a major problem, because the battery dies pretty quickly.

Laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 530 i7 8 GB ram.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best!

David

The numbers are awesome. My laptop is new. I can use 80% battery with 3-4 hours

Hi. when my laptop goes to sleep, the music on spotify will be turned off. But on sleep mode still reduces battery life as shown above. Do you think I should reinstall win 11? I upgraded from win 10 to win 11

I see the BIOS is fully updated too.

Inclined to believe it is some bug. Do you want to rollback to Windows 10?

I see. Does the issue persist in a clean boot state?
