Windows 10: HP Laptop All Of A Sudden Has Fan Issue When Sleeping

Since sometime on 10/19 my new HP laptop ive had for about 2 months started running the fan and running it hard and loud every time I close the lid and laptop enters sleep mode. I tried everything I can think of. I even upgraded to Windows 11 to see if that would fix it but it didnt. Please help.

Fan control issue

I recently reinstalled windows to windows 10 previously on windows 8.1.

The problem I'm having is with a program called HWInfo64 which controls my laptop fan so I can get it running as silently as possible without it overheating and powering off. Without the program I find that the fan just spins to quickly thus creating much noise, in a lot of reading in forums it seems it is a common issue with my laptop (hp elitebook 2540p). I'm thinking that a bios update could fix the issue but the problem is because it's an old laptop the latest version was released in 2015 which I have.

When I wake from the pc going to sleep mode I find that the fan speeds have been reset to default, a quick restart of the software fixes the issue and the fan speeds are back to the way they were however this problem never occurred with my windows 8.1 os setup or windows 7 before that. I have set the program to run as administrator but it has made no difference.
It seems to me a work around for this issue would be if I can somehow get HWInfo64 to close just before the pc goes into sleep mode then start back up when I wake the pc, is this possible?

If there is other programs I can try that will do the same job in controlling the fan speed please suggest.

Thanks for any responses in advance.

computer fan

• Carefully blow out the dust from all the vents on the sides and underneath.
• Only use laptops on hard surfaces without any coverings on that surface.
• If it is a rattle / clicking type noise then it will need a Technician to replace the fan and completely clean out any dust / hair or other debris that may be trapped within the laptops casings and fan assembly.

 

HP ENVY 17-k000 sleep issues

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

If the computer does not wake from sleep or hibernate mode, restarting the computer, changing settings, or updating the software and drivers will resolve the issue.

Method 1: Hybrid sleep.

If your system has a lag or delay before sleeping try to
disable Hybrid Sleep to see the sleep performance is improved.

• Go to Search window and type
  Control Panel > select System and Maintenance option > click on
  Power options to run the applet.
  
• Click on Change plan settings under the active selected power plan.
  
• On the Change settings for the plan option, click on
  Change advanced power settings. On the Advanced settings tab of Power Options, expand
  Sleep and then expand Allow hybrid sleep option. Select
  Off from the drop down list as the value for the options available.
  
• Click on OK option and click on
  Save changes option.
