Do you leave it in sleep mode or turn off? If turn off, try turning fast startup off, it will slow the start up (naturally) but it will actually turn PC off instead of use hybred hibernate. That should save power

What power plan are you running?

Greetings!

Have you always left it plugged in? Laptop batteries do better if they are discharged and recharged regularly for that is what they are designed for as a portable device. If it is left plugged in for an extended period of time, it can effect it's ability to hold a charge. I have a laptop that runs Windows 7, and I left it plugged in on my desk at home for a little over a year and now the battery holds very little charge. So, it is not (necessarily) Windows 10, and more likely the charge memory of your battery if it is plugged in for extended periods of time. Sadly, there is no way I know of to restore full function to a battery after this has occurred.

Hope this helps!

Is that even true anymore ith recent generations of rechargeable batteries?
I think that applies to old Ni-Cads

Maybe it is just Ni-Cads, but not really knowing the specs of the laptop, I figured I would offer it up as a potential...I know many folk who have had the same experience as I have with my laptop. Mine is ~3.5 to 4 years old.
