Problem with the battery in my notebook?

I have a little problem with the battery of my notebook. Whenever I turn it off at 100 percent in the evening at 9:00 a.m. And start it up in the morning at 11:00 a.m., it always has between 83-95 percent. What can that be?

Once wanted to know your opinion.

Windows 10?

Win10 does not shut down completely. It's best to change this in the settings. You can find out how to do this on the Internet.

St

Yes, Windows 10.

But why doesn't it go all the way down?

I have not always had this problem. Only since 1 month.

In Windows 10, the PC does not shut down completely by default, but remains in a kind of ultra-energy-saving mode so that it starts up faster. It's best to see on the Internet how to turn it off.

Windows 10 does not shut down completely so that it feels like Win10 is a technically good operating system. Welcome to Microsoft.

Maybe it has been eating more power for a month or so due to an update or something like that.

wh

Probably came with one of the last updates

St

Yes.

Don't you think in the direction of a defective battery?

Of course it can be. Has the useful life of the battery suddenly been shortened?

St

No, not that.

Then I'd rather say it's Windows. Switch off this fake shutdown. If nothing then changes with the battery consumption, it is more likely due to the battery. I would rather rule it out at the moment.

St

Thank you.

@TechnikTim Could you take a look at my penultimate question with the Laggs while gaming and write an answer?

wh

You wrote earlier that this suddenly came about a month ago. Therefore, I would rather tap Windows Update because a battery does not lose its capacity by leaps and bounds, but over a longer period of time.

Do I have

How exactly do you make it out? To work? Stand by? Or correct that it is 100% off?

St

It has 100 percent and then I go down, then I close it and disconnect it from the power.

Pa

That shouldn't be, I also have a laptop from lenovo with windows 10, if I turn it off in the evening and disconnect it from the power then it still has 100% in the morning.

I guess it's because of the battery.

After or before shutting down ALL cables, headphones etc. Get out or take off

St

I have.

Everything right what you write… And to the questioner… If your notebook is constantly connected to the mains… What it will be… Because the name says it all… Fill the battery… And then get out. Charge again from time to time… Permanently connected to the mains, unfortunately, gets the battery ready…

Except for update… Windows has nothing to do with hardware.

This type of shutdown (which is actually the idle state) saves the state of the RAM on disk. The rest shouldn't consume more than usual. So it's over.

In the energy-saving mode, the RAM is left under energy to get back on again. Of course, that really consumes more.

But it is a good question whether there's a difference between real shutdown and outsourcing to the disk. I almost don't think so.

If I take the battery out… The shutdown… And then set the red switch from on to off… Shut that or his notebook down! But that is his problem… The fact is… His battery has run out… Done off… There's no update or etc… The error seat before the problem

se

Unplug it. Forget it… And all without a battery… Yes, everything is ok.

So I've already written it in the comment. There are two basic ways to turn off the laptop.

If you just close the laptop, it goes into an energy-saving mode, which means that the main memory continues to be supplied with power so that it can be reactivated immediately when opened. Of course, that eats a lot of electricity, but that's not your problem either.

The other way would be to shutdown. Since Windows 8 there's no real shutdown anymore, instead the entire working memory is written to the hard disk and the computer is completely shut down. If you switch on the computer again, it reloads the image of the working memory from the hard disk back into RAM. This mode used to be called hibernation.

The system really only restarts completely when you press the restart button. As you have been advised, you can disable this type of incorrect shutdown, but I do not assume that you would save battery power.

So if you really choose to shutdown, then in my opinion the battery should not suffer as much. You have to consider that in this state you could completely disconnect the laptop from the power and still start it up as soon as you plug everything in again.

But if you only fold your laptop, it will use more energy because the RAM will continue to be supplied.

So if the battery now deteriorates in performance, this is normal in the case of folding under guarantee. If you don't go down. That's why I think that your battery suffered a bit.

No, I don't mean hibernation. Another thing, as you described it correctly. Win10 has actually built something similar to hibernation into the correct shutdown. But you can switch off.

Ad

I think it's exactly as it says. I don't think it's similar, it should be the same.

Ad

No, google that. The real shutdown doesn't really shut down either

Shutting down is writing an image of RAM to disk. If you switch this off, the system is terminated. It says so.
