How to manage power settings on Windows 11

Change computer sleep timer.

Windows 11 comes with different settings to manage power features to optimize energy consumption on your desktop computer to keep the electric bill low and battery life on your laptop to ensure you can get the most out of a single charge.

For example, you can decide when the screen should turn off or when the computer should sleep to preserve power. You can use different power modes to optimize the device for performance or battery life. The battery-saver mode can help make the most of the remaining charge when running low on battery. Windows 11 also comes with a feature that lets you review battery usage to find the apps wasting the most power. You can enable hibernation to extend battery life, shut down the computer to preserve power without losing the current session, and more.
