The browser continues to run in the background on Windows (and Linux) systems - something you might never notice.
Just closing the Google Chrome window doesn’t quit the browser fully. However, this isn’t always the case with Google Chrome. Historically, closing an application in Windows is straightforward: you click or tap on the ‘x’ window control button and that’s it it’s closed.
The fix? Closing the browser when it’s not needed. While Google gets to work fixing the Chrome battery drain issue affecting Windows users, an easy interim solution may help preserve laptop battery life in the meantime.
