OK. Thanks. If you don't mind my asking, at what brightness level?
About 90% but with Adaptive Brightness on...
Thanks for the replies - I didn't know what adaptive brightness was until I just researched it.
I went in to control panel and indeed it was turned off for both battery and plugged in - I have now turned this on for both based on above comments, was this the correct thing to do?
I also have the 'adjust brightness automatically' turned off in PC Devices with screen brightness set around 30%, I would assume this is not an issue?
Thanks again for the interest.

It seems that after a restart and having turned on adaptive brightness the adjust brightness automatically turns on.
I guess as you would imagine these are linked or effectively the same think from different locations.
Either way I will see if this makes any difference to my battery life, I have left Bluetooth on also.
If this doesn't yield any improvements I will try a full reset but I have to say I am not hopeful either way, it still seems to be draining at 20% per hour.

Please do powercfg /energy and show here. Myself is having problem with Nvidia Tegra Audio running in the background and causing battery drain. Microsoft is gonna exchange it
I tried to do power /cfg in admin command prompt - don't know if I did it correctly.
It ran some kind of tracing for 60 seconds and then stated there was some kind of power efficiency problem.
Not sure how to produce a report, can somebody give me some guidance on this - thanks.
