It’s been more than a year since we started hearing about us Windows 11 23H2, i.e. the main update that Microsoft’s operating system will receive this year. And we already know that, unlike what has been seen on other occasions, it will not be a major update, which is partly due to the fact that the company distributed the arrival of new features between updates and Moments, in a more closed strategy, precisely to try to avoid updates as “complicated” as Windows 10 22H1.

Another reason is that it seems to have been expected for some time Microsoft has been focusing on Windows 12 development for some time now, a future version of the operating system. This would make sense, after the criticism that Windows 11 received, which for many did not introduce enough new features and improvements over Windows 10 to justify the generational leap, but instead brought some problems that were not present in Windows 10.

So, and although Windows 11 23H2 will certainly not mean a before and after in the life cycle of this version of Windows and, more importantly for Microsoft, in the perception of users, yes, we hope that those from Redmond manage to trump this update with some interesting newswhich will convince users to jump to it as soon as possible, in the face of the logical resistance they have developed in the face of updates.

We still have some time left for the full list of news, but we are gradually learning about some of them. In this sense, Bleeping Computer foresees a very interesting one, and that is Windows 10 23H2 will have a complete energy report. Recall that until now, Windows allows you to modify the power plan in use at any time, but does not show a message about its use.

With this future feature, users will be able to check your power consumption history both the last 24 hours and the last seven days and will also offer i information about the consumption of each applicationsomething we can currently only vaguely verify in the task manager.

There is no doubt that for this new Windows 11 23H2, Microsoft was inspired by mobile operating systems, Android and iOS, as this type of report has been present in both for some time. In the PC ecosystem, this information is of course especially useful for laptop users, but it can also help desktop users audit the consumption of applications they regularly use.
