Hence, the software giant is gradually introducing functions and tools that try to improve this section and enhance the battery saving. In fact, in the latest build of Windows 11 sent, we found an interesting novelty that will allow us to improve this aspect of the system.
At the moment it is a function that is in the middle of the testing period, so only users have access to it. Insider users of the signature. We are referring to a novelty that is causing great excitement among the aforementioned Insiders on the Canary channel. All this comes after the staging of Windows 11 Insider Preview build 26241.
And one of the main novelties that we find in this Build is that it includes a feature that could be revolutionary as well as simple. Say that in most cases we look for methods to extend battery life of our team. Well, it seems that Microsoft has had a quite profitable idea in this regard, taking advantage of the high energy consumption of the HDR screens we use every day.
More specifically, the search giant is testing a new setting that could help change things when it comes to the autonomy of our devices.
How Windows 11 will save battery
The discovery was made by a regular user on the X social network who has already provided us with this type of news in the past.
A new energy recommendation is being added: “turn off HDR to conserve energy”. (disabled by default, build 26241.) https://t.co/lrPnVVnfPz

To give us a better idea of the usefulness of all this, say that this battery saving focuses on allowing users disable HDR technology from your screen. This will mean significant energy savings on the part of Windows 11.
It is worth mentioning that this is a function integrated for a long time in the Microsoft operating system that we find in the System / Energy / Energy recommendations section of the Settings app.
Thus, all those who need to increase the autonomy of their laptops will have the opportunity to deactivate HDR in Windows 11. In case you don’t know, this is a functionality also called High Dynamic Range which focuses on increasing the color and contrast of our screen in Windows. This graphic treatment to which we refer on many occasions makes a high energy consumption of our team.
Hence, if we are not going to use it at that moment and we want to prioritize the autonomy of the PC, Windows 11 will soon allow us to deactivate the feature in question. The only thing we must keep in mind for the moment is that it is a functionality that is in the testing period. With everything and with this, everything indicates that it will soon reach the stable versions of Windows 11 so that we can all benefit from this energy savings in portable equipment.
