@grassmudhorse where do you find such info of idle consumption? screenshots pls.
w.r.t. battery time Wx vs. macOS:
it is one of the most annoying things from Windows is fan noise, which AFAIK is M$ manipulate & overclocking to get high performance without your approval and those settings disable. You will find dozens/hundreds of svchost.exe processes running, don't know what they are doing. Besides it update the OS anytime they want...
For those reasons and more, I seldom boot into Windows with my dual-boot. But I notice following:

For those reasons and more, I seldom boot into Windows with my dual-boot. But I notice following:
- if close lid sleep overnight, macOS can maintain 97% ~100% battery, but Wx much less < 90%;
- Degradation of battery lifespan in Windows seems faster and irreversible, but in macOS last year 88%(Wx battery report), but now macOS report 93% (63 cycles count)
