Windows XP SP2 bug fix for notebook owners

Microsoft has recently made a hotfix available to download a significant increase in battery life for laptops running Windows XP SP2.

Due to a USB drive failure in Windows XP Service Pack 1, some Intel-based notebooks may experience up to twenty to thirty percent (up to -XNUMX hour) less battery performance because they did not allow the computer and processor to take full advantage of advanced power management. . The problem may have occurred if an external device was connected to the USB port and Windows detected any unused devices as active.

An Intel spokesman said this error does not occur in all notebooks, it depends on a number of factors: the processor, the chipset, the USB 2.0 device, the software used, or the driver.

As early as June last year, Microsoft recognized this flaw, which we had to wait nearly a year to fix. An update that requires Windows to be authenticated is now available for Hungarian XP.
