Microsoft is adding a power saving mode to Windows 11 Insiders (Build 26002) that “extends and improves” the existing battery saving option. The new mode doesn’t just apply to laptops like Battery Saver mode – you can also use Power Saver on a desktop PC if you want to save power.
Aside from being available on both desktop and laptop devices, the power saver works in much the same way as the battery saver mode. The new feature also helps save power at the expense of some system performance , so you might not want to use it if you're gaming .

You can enable Energy Saver from the Quick Settings, or you can configure it from the Settings by going to System > Power > Energy saver. There, you can turn the feature on or choose to have it run automatically when your device reaches a certain battery percentage. Energy Saver is now available to Windows 11 Insiders in the Canary channel.
If you don't have access to this version, you can still use the existing battery saver feature that's available to everyone with Windows 11.You can also optimize your power consumption with the system's power recommendations feature, which automatically adjusts certain settings, like screen brightness, to save power.
