    Laptop's Fan is running at full speed since windows 10 update


    I also had the same problem. After updating my Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and later to Windows 10, the fan started to work at full speed with lots of noise. I tried many different methods that didn't work. Finally I found the following solution.
    Basically, the problem is that your graphic card drivers are not compatible with your motherboard. You need to install an older version of drivers which is compatible with your system, not the latest ones!!!
    In order to do that:
    1. Make sure you cancel the automatic update. Go to device installation settings and check “Never install driver software from windows update”

    2. Reboot
    3. Uninstall all graphic cards from device manager
    4. Reboot again
    5. Go to device manager and make sure your system did not automatically install the graphic cards.
    6. Then, install an older version of graphic card driver which is compatible with your motherboard. For my laptop (SONY VIO, bought in 2013) after a few trial and error, I found this version completely compatible with my system: AMD Radeon HD series version 15.301.1901.0. and INTEL ® HD graphics 4000 version 10.18.10.4226. (It is about a month that my system is working without noise).
    7. You may also needed to update the motherboard cheapest drivers too.

    Interestingly, this remedy worked for my internet wifi too. After updating my Windows, my laptop used to disconnect every half an hour or so.
    I installed an older version of driver (Intel Centrino (R) wireless N 2230: version 15.12.0.6) and it got fixed.

    Hope this solution works for your computer too.

    Hello, everyone.

    I have posted this in other forums, too, in the hopes of getting some ideas.

    I recently installed Windows 10 on a desktop computer and everything went as smoothly as it could have, with no problems at all. So, motivated by how well everything went with that computer, I decided to upgrade Windows on a laptop as well. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L855, with an Intel Core i3-2370M processor.

    The upgrade process on the laptop also completed successfully. Now both computers have Windows 10 and so far it has been running... fine.

    The only unusual thing I've noticed with the laptop is that the CPU fan wants to run at full speed all the time, even though the computer is never used for any "processor-intensive" tasks. The normal activity on it is browsing the web, watching videos, playing music, writing text files and really nothing more than that.

    I immediately found this odd and I have come to the conclusion that something in Windows 10 is responsible because:

    a) This never happened in Windows 7, which was the previous operating system the computer had, and

    b) This doesn't happen when I start the computer and go into a different operating system, namely Ubuntu.

    Well, thank you everybody for reading and please give some advice if you have any. Surely I'm not the only one who has run into this situation.

    If you have bought a new case or fans or something recently good thing is to make sure that every fan is spinning. Just putting it out there because this was the problem for me.

    The last post before yours was on June 5th, think maybe the problem has been fixed.

    Windows 10 with HP Notebook
       #35

    I have shortly bought a HP notebook and Windows 10 separately. I installed the Windows on the new HP notebook. The result is that the fan is running at nearly max speed all the time very loadly although no software is running. At the same the the battery will be unloaded very quickly. This is annoying.
    I have still an old notebook usnig Windows 8.1 Here no problems appear.
    What can I do? Is the problem known to the producer of Windows?
    On the other hand I know other computers running Windows 10 where such a problem does not appear.

    hello guys i'm new to the forum and i am experiencing a similar problem
    my laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 510 (Core i7-6500U + Intel HD Graphics 520, 8GB DDR4, Nividia GeForce 940MX 4GB GDDR5 and a 1TB HDD).
    I bought my laptop a month ago and two weeks ago (two weeks after buying) I did the Windows 10 Anniversary Update and since then I've been experiencing very loud CPU Fan.
    Tried Fan Speed and HWMonitor and both didn't detect a fan to show its speed!
    Please help as the sound is driving me crazy!!

    I have the same issue. And the majority that updated there HP Laptops to Windows 10 also have the same fan noise issue. HP customer service is completely useless in helping with this manner. So this will be my last HP laptop I'll be buying from them. I'll go with DELL from now on. No issues with them ATM.

    In my opinion, I believe it may be a driver compatibility issue and for some reason Microsoft doesn't install the proper driver for certain components, such as the Graphics Cards. I would take the above posters suggestion about removing the graphics card drivers, disabling auto updates and so on.
