Updating the BIOS is recommended as standard maintenance of the computer. It can also help resolve the following issues:

      • An available BIOS update resolves a specific issue or improves computer performance.

I tried it but no such difference was created.

Hello @DEV2601 

What is the difference ? Is it better or worse than before ?

 

The next point would be to determine if you have too many unnecessary programs running in the background.

 

Kind regards

I think it is worse but not much worse. Now battery charge is also slow. And main concern is still battery drain which is now 20% drain in 30 min of YouTube video.
