Sudden decrease of battery life

Question

I have had my Dell Inspiron 7000 gaming since march now, and I've loved it so far. I use it both for gaming and for school, which is why I chose it, since it has such a long battery life. But i had to roll back my intel driver a couple of days ago, since the last update gave some screen trouble when returning from sleep mode. But the battery life of my pc has decreased dramaticly since the roll back. It's decreased from cirka 9-11 hours on 100% to cirka 1-3 hours on 100%. The battery life even runs out in about 2 hours when I only use Word and Spotify.Does my driver really have such a big impact on the battery life or, if not, what can I do to bring back the long battery span which is the reason I bought this pc for?

I'd suggest checking Battery Usage By App in system settings. Type Settings onto the [Cortana] search box, click System, battery and select battery usage by app. You should see which Apps /programs that burning most of your battery power.

Note: Please remove AC adapter before checking battery usage
