My Asus Strix AE is always using like 20w of power on battery mode. I think it should be more like 8-10w. What's up?
Your dedicated GPU is probably on. Use this app to identify apps running on it and kill them: https://github.com/eduojeda/nvidia-optimus-kill. And try limiting the clock speed, turbo clocks are exponentially less energy efficient

DOES YOUR GAMING LAPTOP HAVE BAD BATTERY? An investigation into the inconsistent NVIDIA Optimus implementation on Windows
nvidia-optimus-kill by GitHub user eduojeda: Finds processes that are currently utilizing the dGPU and restarts them. Useful after you unplug an external monitor from your laptop and there are still processes running on your GPU. Actually works in my experience

Legion 5 Pro 2021 3060 Idle Power Draw

Not correctly switching between iGPU and discrete gpu
Sometimes, certain application uses dGPU so MUX Switch/Nvidia has problem switching. By resetting the graphic card [WIN+Ctrl+Shift+B] or using nvidia-optimus-kill [https://github.com/eduojeda/nvidia-optimus-kill], you'll be able to close the applications using dGPU and make sure it properly switches. I use this, but it doesn't always switch as intended.

Legion 7i battery life. Need help!
Then in Nvidia Control Panel, click Desktop > Display GPU activity in the notification area . This adds a small icon in the bottom right of the desktop. If anything appears in the icon's list, the Nvidia GPU won't be able to sleep. Follow these instructions to get those apps running on the AMD GPU. You could also try Optimus Kill, though I've had mixed success with it.

[Laptop] ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" 1080p 120Hz - AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS - 16GB Memory (8GB Soldered)- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q (65W) - 1TB SSD - Moonlight White - $1149.99 ($1449.99-300)

Windows 11 struggling to escape the shadow of Windows 10
> Windows 11 brings absolutely nothing on the table
It also removes a leg from the table, the one labelled 'usability'.
Attaching a 3rd-party leg to fill the gap helps (https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher), but it's not an ideal solution
- Should I go back to using windows 11 again?
- Windows.. you think thats where the "1 Notification" should go?

Microsoft Will Eventually Start Charging You for Windows 10 Security Updates
I had more problems with it being wide, merging all app windows in a single icon, showing only icon rather then app title, and not being able to move to top of screen
That may be fixed with https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher which restores win10 bar, there's no builtin solution to any of the above afaik

Thanks for letting me know. I looked into it, and apparently it's still even possible to activate on later versions of Windows with registry edits and helper software: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167

Rectify11 Improving upon the Windows 11 experience
Not going to install something that seems so vague, but I do use ExplorerPatcher [1] on my Windows 11 machines to basically re-create Windows 10 UI and fix all of the annoyances I have with Windows 11. I've got the old right click menu, the old task bar, the old alt-tab interface, pretty much the whole thing. Only reason I use Windows 11 over Windows 10 is because Windows 11 seems to handle my triple monitor setup better, especially when waking up from sleep.
