Hi,
I have windows 10 running on a macbook 2016 edition at full spec as a virtual machine, it seems to use a lot of battery life even when I just have the operating system in idle. Is there anyway I can reduce the battery usage on my virtual machine virtual box?

Re: Excessive battery use
What does the Activity Monitor has to say about it? What is the guest doing at the time? Have you disabled all power management options in the guest and all screen savers?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Re: Excessive battery use
"Idle" Windows 10 is downloading and installing updates, scanning for viruses, indexing the disk, and other such things.
