While efficiency mode benefits battery-powered machines, it reduces browser resource utilization so that the operating system may concentrate its resources on running apps. And hence when you enable efficiency mode, you may notice slowdowns when browsing.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we have discussed some ways by which you can turn off the feature to fix slowdowns or issues you are facing on the Microsoft Edge browser.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1-_Turn_Off_Efficiency_Mode_in_Edge_Settings\"><\/span>Method 1- Turn Off Efficiency Mode in Edge Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On a Windows PC, efficiency mode is turned on by default. If an app, such as a web browser, uses the EcoQoS API, it will be automatically enrolled in Efficiency Mode.
