Speaking of which, I've had horrific battery life on my Latitude E6540 with 
Windows 10 64-bit and build 10525.  I just noticed today that the AMD Catalyst 
Control software was running at 100% CPU usage.  I've applied the newest 
drivers and it seems good!

ok i figured it out, even though im using the latest windows 10 drivers for 
some reason the intel graphics driver didnt install therefore it was set to 
microsoft basic display adapter and hence, backlight on during sleep, once i 
loaded the driver, no problem, i will dig into the logs to see if i can find 
out why it didnt load them

I have mine now and I’ll test.
 
Maybe it’s because you live in Sweden and, like the sun, never wants to go out.

I believe mine stays on for about 5-10 seconds but then goes out.  I’d have to 
look at it again when I have it on hand.

sleep the screen blanks but the backlight is still on (obvious power drainer)
