[When I make my Laptop sleep, will Paint.NET drain the Battery?]

How old is the laptop? Could the battery be going bad? By saying you checked for something in the background, did you look at the task manager processes?

 

It just reached 1 year old a month ago. I highly doubt the battery is going bad so soon.

This is a bit silly. Processes don't run in the background while a computer is in sleep mode. The computer goes into a lower power state (usually less than 0.5W); just enough to retain what's in RAM.

 

And that is why I'm curious whether leaving Paint.NET running could be a culprit of the drain.

I've never known it to happen. Almost sounds like something was running in the background that you didn't catch.

 

I've checked before I close it. Nothing was running at the moment. I'll check again the next time I do so and let you know.

Once, I left Paint.NET running on my laptop and just left it to sleep, the battery was quite drained by the time I returned. Is this supposed to happen? The drainage was from 80% to less than 20% battery life.

Note that I did not have any other applications running at the time.

Ah, I seem to have discovered an issue.

 

I've tried to login with my e-mail but it fails, but when I switch to logging in with my Display Name, it works.

Apologies for this.

 

This topic can probably be closed now.

Greetings!

I seem to have an issue logging into the forums. I know this is my password but it keeps saying it's wrong.

I've already been locked out twice and also reset the password twice.

 

Please advice?
