last but not least, check the status of the CPU thermal paste as it usually dries up after 3-5years of usage.
in order to apply the new thermal paste you need to disassemble the pc, so it is always a better choice to ask a technician to take care of the process

I had the same problem, although I'm running Win 8.1. First, Windows 10 uses a lot of background resources, and it is constantly updating, causing more load and heating up the processor core. Personally, I don't like, want, or use Windows 10. In my case, even though updates did not work, it was set to automatically update. The enigma was that when I checked my background processes for CPU load, it didn't show up. I noticed the CPU was idling at 3.5 GHz, when it should be under 2 GHz. This overheating caused the fan to be on constantly. When I rurned off updates it idled down, cooled off, and the fan stop running. In Windows 10, it is not that easy to completly disable updates, but possible.
