When we leave Windows 10 in sleep or sleep, many of the operations that the computer performs are stopped and its power consumption is reduced. Although, during this time, power is still consumed in the computer. But the precise amount is unknown. Luckily, the operating system introduced a feature that lets us know more about it.
It is a kind of report that will allow us to monitor what happens in Windows 10 during this time the computer is asleep or idle. So we have much more accurate data on what the battery consumption is at those times.
This is one of the doubts of many users, since there may be times when you do not have a charger and you do not know what is best for you to do. So, you can see what is the consumption that takes place when Windows 10 is at rest. What do we have to do to be able to achieve this?
We need to the computer has the so-called «InstantGo mode» or «Connected StandBy». It is a power model that works thanks to the integration between the software that we have in the computer itself, with the rest of its components. Thanks to this system, you get a sleep or sleep mode in which the battery lasts longer, in addition to offering a much faster system startup.
The first that we have to do is to start Windows 10 using an administrator account. When we have done this, we go to the command prompt function. This is where we will have to enter a command, which is the following (without using quotes): «powercfg / SleepStudy / output% USERPROFILE% \ Desktop \ sleepstudy.html ». The function of this command is to create a report on the activity that this tool that we have discussed measures.
In this way, we will have a detailed report that will show us the activity that we have had in Windows 10 at the times when the computer was asleep or suspended. We will can see the battery consumption that has been in each of these moments. Information that will be very useful to us.
