    Hi,

    I'm Sumit, here to assist with your question.

    Apologies for any inconvenience - I'm happy to help you today.

    As Marcin said, the command is incorrect in two ways.

    powercfg<space>/batteryreport

    Parameters:

    /output <filepath> – specifies custom path and filename for the report (default: C:\Windows\System32\battery-report.html)

    Example:

    powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\Reports\battery.html"

    /duration <days> – limits report data to specified number of past days (default: all available data)

    Example:

    powercfg /batteryreport /duration 7

    /xml – generates the report in XML format instead of HTML

    Example:

    powercfg /batteryreport /xml /output "C:\Reports\battery.xml"

    I hope you find this information useful. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Otherwise, please take a moment to accept the answer. Wishing you good luck!

    It looks like there's a typo in your command. The correct command to generate a battery report in Windows is:

    powercfg /batteryreport
    

    You typed powercfg/betteryreport (missing space and misspelled battery). The correct syntax requires a space after powercfg and the correct parameter name /batteryreport.

    You can also specify an output path if you want to save it somewhere specific, for example:

    powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery_report.html"
    

    If the above response helps answer your question, remember to "Accept Answer" so that others in the community facing similar issues can easily find the solution. Your contribution is highly appreciated.
