Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Let's try a few troubleshooting steps we consider a repair or replacement.

Adjust Power Settings:

• Open Windows Settings: Click on the Start menu and select Settings.
• Go to System > Power & Battery.
• Adjust the power settings to Battery Saver or Balanced mode, which will reduce battery consumption.

Optimize Battery Usage:

• Battery Saver: Enable Battery Saver mode when your laptop is running on battery.
  • Open Settings > System > Power & Battery.
  • Under Battery, enable Battery Saver.
• Background Apps: Disable unnecessary background apps.
  • Open Settings > Privacy > Background apps.
  • Turn off background apps that you don't need.

Disable Unnecessary Start-Up Programs:

• Task Manager: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
• Go to the Startup tab and disable programs that you don't need starting automatically.

Update System Drivers:

• Ensure all your drivers are up-to-date, especially the graphics driver, as outdated drivers can lead to increased battery consumption.
• Visit the HP Support Page for Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop and download the latest drivers.

Update Windows:

• Make sure your Windows operating system is up-to-date.
• Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for updates.

Adjust Display Brightness:

• Lower the screen brightness to conserve battery.
• You can adjust the brightness by pressing Windows + A and then adjusting the slider.

Manage Gaming Settings:

• High-performance gaming can drain the battery quickly.
• Consider playing games on lower settings when running on battery, or plug in your laptop while gaming for better performance.

Check Battery Health:

• Conduct a battery health check to see if the battery needs replacement.
• You can use HP's diagnostics tool for battery health check.
