I have found the battery life reduction from the “stock” images seems to be related to what services are running in the background and some Google Chrome Site Isolation / Malware settings [software reporter tool] (if Chrome is installed).
When I stripped out most of the “stuff” that is not need out of the Windows 10 base image (Direct from Microsoft), stripped out all the unneeded drivers, removed / disabled all the “bloatware”, the machine ran WAY FASTER and battery life doubled. I use NTlite to strip the Win10 image. I have attached the files to turn off Chrome taking over the CPU, just remember to go into chrome://flags and OPT-OUT of the SITE ISOLATION TRIAL. Run the attachments as admin and reboot after.
I included a sample session from NTlite, but it does not have all the listings of the drivers that were removed or added. Just a base to start from (its based on W10 PRO)
(attachments were stripped out, so putting in text)
