Microsoft has announced the development of a revolutionary smart energy saving feature for the Windows 11 operating system. The new technology aims to fundamentally change the approach to power consumption management on laptops and tablets.
How Smart Energy Saving Works
The feature will use machine learning to analyze user behavior and automatically configure system parameters. The algorithm will track application activity, frequency of using various functions, and offline working time.
The system will be able to predict when the user plans intensive work and when the device can switch to energy saving mode. For example, if a user regularly works with graphics editors at a specific time, the system will prepare optimal performance settings in advance.
Key Features
Smart energy saving includes several innovative functions:
Adaptive screen brightness - the system will analyze not only lighting but also the type of content on the screen, automatically adjusting brightness for optimal balance between visibility and power consumption.
Intelligent processor management - the feature will dynamically change CPU frequency depending on running tasks and predicted user activity.
Background process optimization - the system will learn to determine which applications are truly needed by the user at a given moment and suspend less important processes.
Impact on Battery Life
According to Microsoft's preliminary data, the new feature can increase laptop battery life by 20-30%. A particularly noticeable effect is expected on ARM-powered devices, where power consumption optimization plays a critical role.
The feature will also account for battery wear and adapt its operation to extend battery lifespan. The system will be able to warn about charging needs in advance, based on user plans.
Availability and Implementation
Smart energy saving is planned for release as part of a major Windows 11 update expected in late 2025. The feature will be available on all modern devices with Windows 11 support, but will show maximum efficiency on new laptops with Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen 8000 series processors.
Microsoft also plans to provide APIs for developers, allowing third-party applications to integrate with the smart energy saving system and optimize their operation.
