Firefox and dwm.exe load the CPU up to 40W when the computer is idle in windows 11 24H2. If it is on and the computer is locked, the monitor goes off and dwm.exe loads the CPU. Once you unlock the computer again, the leak stops. If anyone knows how to pass this information to the developers, please pass it on.

If you have a 24H2 you can check this, if you have a battery powered laptop, its battery will drain when the laptop is idle.
