IT Admins Can Now Control Energy Saver in Windows 11 via Microsoft Intune - Read More

June 4, 2025 – Windows’ latest Canary build now lets IT administrators improve PCs’ battery life. The Energy Saver feature is available in Microsoft Intune and group policy. Admins can now lock the setting across the company without touching each PC.

Microsoft’s Energy Saver throttles background tasks, dims the screen, and balances power draw to stretch battery life. Admins will find the new toggle under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management > Energy Saver Settings > “Enable Energy Saver to Always Be On.” They can enforce it through Mobile Device Management or the local Group Policy Editor. Microsoft pitches the move as a quick way to cut electricity bills and carbon footprints.

Build 27871 also refreshes Phone Link inside the Start menu. Android notifications now show up in neat stacks – one click starts screen mirroring. iPhone users can browse recent iCloud photos without opening the Photos app.

The taskbar gets a small tweak. The “needy” pill under apps that demand attention is now wider. This makes it harder to miss a Teams ping or an urgent Outlook alert.

Microsoft cleaned up a pile of bugs, too. Systems with Virtualization-Based Security no longer break VMware Workstation after a reboot. Windows File Explorer stops crashing when touch users tap the View button. Also, the network-drive hiccups no longer block searches from the Home page.

Other fixes tackle keyboard shortcuts on the taskbar, high-sample-rate audio silence, Task Manager search, graphics scaling after sleep, and voice access freezes. The release also polishes Settings corner radii and quashes odd storage readouts. Canary remains bleeding edge, but this update shows Microsoft drilling down on polish while giving admins a new lever to save power.
