- To enable battery saver on Windows 11, open Settings > Power & battery, click “Battery saver,” and click “Turn on now.”

On Windows 11, “battery saver” is a feature that, as the name implies, helps laptops conserve energy to prolong battery life as much as possible.
When battery saver mode is on, the device will reduce power consumption by disabling some features, such as sync for emails, OneDrive, and other features, and certain apps won’t work in the background. The screen brightness will decrease, and the energy will be managed differently in favor of battery life instead of performance.
Windows 11, by default, enables battery saver mode automatically when the laptop or tablet reaches 20 percent of battery life. The feature will disable automatically if you plug the device into a power outlet. However, it’s also possible to enable the battery-saver mode manually, and you can even change the battery level before the feature turns on automatically.
This guide will teach you the steps to use the battery-saver feature on your laptop. On Windows 11 24H2, the “Battery Saver” mode is being replaced by Every Saver.
