Figure A Battery Saver automatically extends battery life in Windows 10. As you can see, on my example system, the battery life is at 74% and the estimated time remaining is 1 hour and 34 minutes. In the Overview section, you'll see the current state of battery life expressed as a percentage and as an amount of time. When the Settings screen appears, select the Battery Saver tab, shown in Figure A. To access Battery Saver, select Settings from the Start Menu/Screen. If you need to get more out of your battery, you can adjust Battery Saver's settings. The most noticeable thing Battery Saver does when it kicks in is to immediately dim the screen's brightness, but it also cuts down operating system and app background activity and prevents push notifications from apps that contain live tiles. Once your battery charge falls below a certain percentage, Battery Saver automatically kicks in and throttles back various mechanisms that draw power, thus extending the battery life.
