    Anyone else experience a massive battery drop when you finish upgrading to windows 8.1 and the newest GeForce 331.58 drivers?

    before using the igpu I was getting 6 hours with brightness to 0 and keyboard backlight to 1, after my update my battery struggles to hit the 4 1/2 hour mark before its at 10% that's over an hour drop in battery time.

    already checked my NVidia gpu settings nothing is using the gpu all non gaming apps is using the intel igpu, I also re checked my advanced power settings to make sure everything is set to save maximum power but nothing seems to work I'm running out of ideas.
