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?

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?

No I will give that a try though, thanks!

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