As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Windows 11 had not been officially released. However, I can provide you with instructions on how to generate a battery report on Windows 10, and the process might be similar in Windows 11 if it's available by the time you're asking this question. Please note that there might be changes in the user interface and steps for Windows 11, so it's a good idea to refer to the official Microsoft documentation or online resources for the most up-to-date instructions.

How Do I Stop Windows 11 From Draining My Battery?
The methods to make your laptop's battery last longer haven't changed in Windows 11. The key to stopping Windows 11 from draining your battery lies in optimizing your laptop's performance and your habits.
Use the Battery saver setting to get more out of your rapidly depleting battery. Windows 11 will automatically turn off background syncing of emails and live tiles when the charge falls to a certain level. It will also turn off any app you are not using.
To generate a battery report on Windows 10 (which might be similar in Windows 11):
Open Command Prompt as an Administrator:
Press the Win + X keyboard shortcut and select "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "Windows Terminal (Admin)" from the menu.
Run the Battery Report Command:
powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery_report.html"
This command generates a battery report and saves it as an HTML file named "battery_report.html" in the root directory of the C: drive. You can replace "C:\battery_report.html" with a different file path if you want to save the report in a different location.
Open the Battery Report:
After running the command, you can navigate to the specified file location (in this case, the root of the C: drive) using File Explorer and open the "battery_report.html" file. This will display the battery report in your default web browser.
The battery report provides detailed information about your laptop's battery usage, capacity, and health over a specific period. It can be useful for monitoring the performance and health of your battery.
Remember that Windows 11 might have a slightly different interface or process, so if you're specifically looking for battery reporting in Windows 11, I recommend checking the official Microsoft documentation or other trusted online sources for accurate and up-to-date instructions.
