Windows 11 laptop fan runs fast and loud for no reason
My laptop is on Windows 11, and the fan suddenly spins fast and gets loud even when I’m just browsing. CPU usage is low. Why is this happening?
Windows is sometimes set to a "Best Performance" power mode, which locks your CPU at high speeds and generates unnecessary heat, even when you're just browsing the web . Switching to a "Balanced" plan often solves the problem immediately.
