Windows 10: Updated to Windows 11 and now the laptop fan is not working most of the time

I updated from Home edition to Windows 11 Home EditionI know we mostly complain about loud fan noise, but now after I updated to Windows 11 it is suspiciously quiet. It does not feel that the laptop is overheating or anything, but it's strangely quiet.HP Laptop 15-dw3xxxWindows 11 HomeProcessor 11th Gen IntelR CoreTM i3-1115G4 @ 3.00GHz, 2995 Mhz, 2 Cores, 4 Logical ProcessorsBIOS Version/Date Insyde F.53, 10/15/2021Installed Physical Memory RAM 8.00 GBAny ideas what is going on?

Laptop fan 1 not working?

Hey, for a while I've noticed that one of my laptop fans on my gaming laptop does not work. I have a program on my laptop called Dragon Gaming Centre and it says that fan 1 speed is 0 RPM, but my laptop fan 2 speed is about 5000 RPM when I have it on high.
Don't know if it's possible that I turned it off somehow or if it could be a physical issue with it being broken.

I was wondering if I could have some suggestions on how how to troubleshoot what the problem is so I can know how to fix it and solutions if possible. It's caused me lots of problems already because my CPU overheats and causes me to get low fps spikes in
games.

Thank you so much for your time and help.

Utility for laptop fan control?

Note that, depending on your laptop, any direct control of the fan may not be possible. I suggested the one above as it seems aimed at laptops in particular- but I've not tried it.

E.g. Speedfan lists no fan on my Thinkpad.

Ok, I've now tried NoteBook FanControl for you.
It has preset configurations for different machines: e.g.




which for my t440s gives




- whereas Speedfan didn't seem to achieve anything, I'm afraid. Presumably you looked at the config editor...
