• Right-click the Start icon, but select Windows Terminal (Admin) instead. Click Yes when the pop-up window asks for permission to make changes to your device.
  • This will open Windows Terminal, a tabbed terminal emulator that can run PowerShell, Command Prompt, and other command-line programs. PowerShell will be open by default, so enter the following code and press Enter: powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery-report.html"

  • Once the command is entered, PowerShell will tell you the name of the generated battery life report and where it has been saved on your computer. You can see here that it's named battery-report.html and is saved to the C drive. You can now close Windows Terminal.
