In an updated support document spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft has quietly posted details of the new Energy Saver feature in Windows 11 24H2 and what makes it different from the Battery Saver. Unlike Battery Saver, Energy Saver can be turned on even when your PC is plugged in.
Battery saver has been around for years now. It’s also available in Windows 10 and it’s designed to save your battery when it’s close to 20%. By default, the battery saver is turned on automatically when your battery percentage falls below 20, and it helps reduce power consumption.
How does the Battery saver work, and what makes the new “Energy saver” in Windows 11 24H2 better? According to an updated support document that we spotted, the Battery saver can be turned on automatically or manually only when the device is not plugged in. On the other hand, the Energy saver feature can be turned on anytime.
