UPDATE: There was no fix for this issue other than reverting back to Windows 10, glad I did it

I agree, but maybe there's some registry hack or tweak that could fix the issue. Anyway I'm about to give up and "upgrade" Windows 11 to Windows 10 which is more stable and tested and everything works fine.

I haven't tested Dell's drivers, and yes, they could work, but manufacturer's drivers are many versions behind the official Nvidia's, so I always install the latest drivers from each component (Intel, Nvidia, etc).

Just have Power Options turn off the display automatically after a set time like Ghot explained above, that's the way I do it whenever I use the laptop without an external monitor.

Thanks bobkn but I never install Geforce Experience or Nvidia HD Audio drivers, I always custom install performing a clean installation, choosing only the Drivers and PhysX components.

Hi all, I posted this a while ago and I'm updating this since Win11 22H2 was released. I have a Dell laptop (Windows 11 Home 22H2 with latest updates and Intel Thunderbolt Controller) with RTX3060 graphics card connected to an external Dell monitor via thunderbolt. I'm using Nvidia driver...

I uninstalled all possible Windows 11 apps, there are no apps running in the background

The AC power brick supplies 130W, so Win 11 is pulling more than 130W because the battery level starts decreasing below 100%

As mentioned, same conditions, same hardware, and Win11 drains, Win10 does not

Thanks, I've done multiple updates in the past both on Win10 and Win11 and the dual boot setup was never affected. It's the first time this happened and it did when updating Win11 to 22H2 as mentioned in my post.

and I don't mean the usual power saving advice (background tasks, display settings, power options, etc). I use my laptop with an external thunderbolt monitor and with AC external power , so power consumption is not related to the laptop's display which is disabled. All conditions being equal...

Hi, I have a dual boot Win10/Win11 system, with Win10 as default. After I updated Win11 to 22H2, Win11 was changed to default in the dual boot menu, so I had to set back Win10 as default. Is this normal? Thanks

Thanks everyone, yes, the pencil icon enabled me to add custom widgets (wifi, bluetooth, etc). When running the batch script provided by FreeBooter above, all of the widgets were enabled as seen in attached screenshot, thanks!

Hi all, when I hover the mouse over System Tray all of the icons are highlighted together (Network connection, Volume and Battery), I'm unable to choose them individually, and when clicking the volume level is displayed, I'm unable to display Wifi connections, etc. I'm attaching a screenshot...

Thanks guys, will post this issue in the Dell Community. In the meantime I can stay with driver 512.95.
