Hi, I just updated my MacBook software to Ventura and after that my MacBook battery is draining pretty quickly while the MacBook is closed. So, I checked my preventing to sleep and it seems that the WindowServer is preventing my MacBook from sleeping. Is there any fix to this?
Hi UTBadger,
I have tried putting my MacBook to sleep with all applications closed, but the battery still drains down to 0% after couple of hours.
