Which apps consume the most battery in Windows 10

Portable battery

For some time now and due in part to the drop in prices of laptops, this device and not the desktop one has become an object of desire for many users, although portability is not something strictly necessary and that it is a fundamental factor when deciding on one model or another.

Desktop computers have been relegated to companies and public bodies, as well as obviously for the gamer community, since laptop requirements are too far apart, in most cases, the needs of many games, except those that are designed for it.

But if the reason why we bought our equipment is the mobility it can offer us, it is important to take into account the consumption that applications make of the battery of our equipment that we usually use on a day-to-day basis, since it is likely that some of them will drink the battery directly from our equipment, without knowing it but we are blaming another application.

If you want to know what are the applications or processes consume more battery in our equipmentBelow we show you all the steps to follow in order to obtain this valuable information:

  • First of all we must have the latest available version of Windows 10 installed, called October 2018, an update that has been available to all users for a few days.
  • Next, we must access the Task Manager, a section that with the launch of Windows 10 October 2018, has incorporated a new tab, a tab where we can see both the Power Consumption and the Power Consumption Trend.
  • To access the Task Manager press the keys Control + Alt + Del.
  • Then we go to the tab Processes, where it will show all the processes that are open at that moment and what the energy consumption is.
  • Thanks to this new information that the Task Manager offers us, we will be able to quickly know which are the applications that consume the most battery and the trend of that application, that is, if it is usual that it consumes so much energy while we use it or is it only in a timely manner when you are carrying out a process.
