Windows 10: Fan running with very low load Win10 ASUS N501VW

ASUS N501VW
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134

Constant sound of fan spinning. I think it is fan spinning, a 2-3 sounds per second, a faint rubbing sound. Using SSD only so this is not HDD rubbing.

I've been using this laptop for 18 months and though this is not a new sound, the constantly running is new.

Is something mechanically wrong? Fixable through configuration?

Memory (16GB installed) and CPU usage very low.

Below are some snips from the output of OpenHardwareMonitor.

Hi there,

• Download the latest TouchPad - ASUS Smart Gesture (Touchpad Driver)

I had this same issue with my Asus UX305 when I upgraded to Windows version 1803 and doing the above steps solved the issue for me.

Fan constantly running despite low CPU Usage, Windows 10

I have an Asus Vivobook S200e which has been running fine. However, since I have upgraded to Windows 10 the fan has been constantly running at the highest speed as soon as I turn on my computer. I've checked task manager and the CPU is very low, between
2 and 15%. I tried closing programs in task manager however nothing seems to affect the fan speed. I've been on the forums and tried a lot of what has been recommended however nothing has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
