Battery drain in win 10 inspiron 15 7537

Hi,

Thank you for writing to us!

As of now there are no issues with battery .

If you could check the power management setting and set it accordingly that should help .

You could also monitor the Graphics  Card Performance .

Thanks

Hi,

I have a dell Vostro 3560 and since updating to windows 10 my battery has decreased dramatically.

It has decreased so much that High Performance when I was on windows 8.1 used much less battery than balanced on Windows 10.

I know there is an issue because battery life doesn't go down that significantly within days before and after an install.

I have also tried changing some of the plan settings like bringing the processing power down etc and it is still nowhere near what it was in windows 8.1. 

I have tried every option but has no change, its not just my laptop even my friends who have dell laptop are facing this problem ,whereas another friend who has lenovo has no battery drain so i must be compatibility issues with win 10 , most of the time fan is spinning fast n heating like when we play a high end graphic game even when just playing songs and surfing net

Hi Vinay,

So you know when I am saying I have the same issue, I am backing you up not trying to derail the thread in my own direction. You being told there isn't a problem isn't a solution for you and I want you to have a solution because I think if they looked into your issue it would probably be a wider issue than your computer. 

Also the fact your friends have the same issue and so do I. I am guessing by your name that you are probably from India, I am from the UK so if we both have an issue and your friends have an issue then it is a wider problem.

People at Dell you will want to sell new machines with Windows 10 on it so please make sure this gets sorted out as it is in your interest to do so. If you are worried about your relationship with microsoft over reporting something they have claimed is fixed then think about what is more important, your relationship with microsoft or your customers? I will give you a hint, your customers keep your business going.

Also any further responses I see from the Dell team telling someone their issue is not a problem I will give a poor customer service rating for. 

Kind Regards,

Also seeing rapid battery drain on Inspiron 17 5721 laptop with Win 10 Pro.

Identical Inspiron 5721 with Win 8.1 Pro runs much longer on a charge. I use the same charger to charge either system for convenience, so it's not a charger issue.

And software use is virtually identical on both so it's not an issue of playing HD video or demanding apps on the Win 10 system vs the Win 8.1 system.

After only surfing the net and checking email for ~1 hr today, the battery in the Win 10 system has gone from 90% to ~50%.

I guess it is a universal problem for few dell models, hope dell will solve this prblem ASAP.

It's a Microsoft+Intel problem with Win 10 and it's not limited to Dell PCs.

I personally think the drain is more than 10% as indicated in that article. :emotion-5:

Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 3537 Laptop. After upgraded to Win 10 me too faced to this Battery Drain issue so I downgraded to Win 8.1 :emotion-6:

Dear, i had the same problem.

Until now there are two things you can do.

1) Enter Bios Settings (by pressing F2 while booting) and disable Intel Management Engine. 

OR

2) Uninstall the latest driver for Intel Management Engine Interface Driver and install this (oldest) driver (Version 9.5.14.1724, A00) : http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=5D6PT&fileId=3488769613&osCode=WB64A&productCode=inspiron-17-7737&languageCode=EN&categoryId=CS

(i choose the 2nd option).

The problem was solved installing this (previous) version of Intel Management Engine Interface Driver. My laptop (Dell 7737 i7) is working perfect now!

Hope that i helped you my friend.

Hi,

I have just updated to Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 3537. It seems to me that applying the 2nd solution works perfectly.

Thanks.
