I forced Windows to stop wasting power on idle apps, and my battery life doubled

Tweaking power settings on a Windows machine can make a significant difference to how long the battery lasts. After all, battery life determines whether your laptop comfortably makes it through a workday or leaves you scrambling for a charger by mid-afternoon. The key is making sure the system is not quietly draining energy on tasks that do not need it, such as background apps or unnecessary performance spikes.
