    Older HP Win 10 laptop running hot, what processes to turn off


    Are there a small number of processes I can disable to slow the fan down, and what's the best way to do it.
    Have not looked at this for a long time. Assume I'm not PC savvy. It's been updating all along, and I am running v 2004. Is there any possibility 20H2 would cool it down? My machine ran much cooler with v.1909 and also when 2004 was fresh it was warmer but tolerable. But I don't have the time to start over with a new install right now, and maybe it isn't even doable, don't know. This is a HP DV7-7030us with 8 RAM, i7 processor, and is probably 8-9 years old. Thank you

    :)

    Laptop very hot, fan constantly running since installing Win 10

    I have a 4 year old Toshiba, Windows 7 laptop that I just upgraded to Windows 10. Since installing, the computer has run very hot and the fan runs nearly constantly. It was also running very slow, but after turning off nearly all of the visual effects, the
    performance is extremely zippy. I have the power setting on high performance. Computer has Corei5 and 4 gb ram.

    I didn't have this problem at all when it was running Win 7 last week. The fan seems to run almost constantly even with web browsing. Any tweaks or suggestions to cut some of the processing demands and get it running cooler again? If not, I'll be forced
    to go back to my Win 7, which actually runs slower but cooler.

  3. No WiFi availablities after upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10 on my HP laptop

    After upgrading my HP laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10, the WiFi manager no longer lists available broadband connections which was previously working before since I was able to access the Win10 upgrade via the broadband connection. The Hot Spot is working
    fine and is listed correctly using my other Win 10 and UBUNTU based Toshiba laptops. Nothing I try will cause the available WiFi's to list as it did previously before upgrading to Win 10. I have tried everything, but the WiFi manager does not recognize any
    WiFi connections available. The HP laptop is properly showing the WiFi light turning to the blue color from orange as normal but it sees no available connections.

    My hp laptop wont turn on

    This is a frequent problem am sure as you have already seen from online searches.

    Flea power is usually the culprit here, basically its residual power that remains on the computer even after thecomputer has been shutdown. You can drain the flea power with the steps the other answers have suggested.

    • Disconnecting the battery and adapter
    • Press the hardpress the power button for 30 seconds
    • This should clear the flea power

    If this doesnt work, read this article its about
    a dell inspiron
    but the same applies for you hp. It has some detailed step by step instructions
