Power Save Mode
Power Save Mode reduces JetBrains Rider's background activity to conserve battery life on laptops and minimize CPU usage. When enabled, JetBrains Rider disables or scales back a number of resource-intensive features while keeping core editing, navigation, building, running, and debugging fully functional.

When Power Save Mode is on, the
widget appears on the status bar.If the widget does not appear, right-click any other status bar widget and select the Power Save Mode checkbox.

Preemptive background completion is disabled.
UI and version control
Smooth scrolling and editor caret animations are turned off.
Indeterminate progress-bar animations and deferred icon loading are suspended.
