Windows 11 May Introduce Smart Feature to Cut Energy Costs and Save Money

Although the feature is still in an early and incomplete stage, build 23506 of Windows 11 introduces changes to the Battery Usage panel, renaming it to Energy (& Battery) Usage. This modification means that the power usage data will not only be relevant for laptops and battery levels but also for desktop PCs.

The Energy Usage panel will display data on the energy consumption of the Windows 11 PC, breaking it down into individual apps. This allows users to identify energy-hungry software on their systems easily. Users with desktop computers will be able to see energy usage data, while laptop users can switch between energy usage and battery level information.
