There is a current issue with Microsoft Edge and Windows 11 that causes the battery to drain on laptops very quickly while using the browser. There are many different causes for this as well such as having too many tabs open on Edge, or that you have hardware acceleration enabled. One of the easiest things we can do to fix this is simply disable hardware acceleration in the settings menu. You also should try to get rid of any extensions that aren’t necessary by managing them in the settings bar.
Key Takeaways:
- Disabling Hardware Acceleration in Settings will reduce battery drain with the Edge browser.
- Having multiple tabs open can drain the battery, but Edge lets you put unused tabs to sleep.
- The Windows Troubleshooter can be run for Power to see what might be draining the battery.
“If you don’t use any specific extensions or apps that should run 24/7 in the background, you can disable this feature.”
