How to save battery in Windows 10?

If you have any apps with high battery usage that you think you haven’t used as much, it may be time to worry. Some malicious applications use the power of your computer for various tasks. One of them, currently very fashionable, is mining cryptocurrencies.

If that application with excessive use comes from an unreliable source, it is best to uninstall it and check if the battery performs better.

If, on the other hand, it is an application from the Microsoft Store or any other proven platform, you can let Windows manage its battery use. This can cause some performance problems, especially in the background, since Windows 10 itself will stop the application from running.

With this short tutorial, you can already know what is consuming the battery of your Windows 10 device and how to save that percentage, which can be vital to get to the end of the day with a sufficient charge.
