@fan25, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding the fan issue!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
I understand that your HP laptop’s fan is running slowly. Let’s try a few troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
- Restart Your Laptop – A simple restart can sometimes fix minor system glitches.
- Check for Dust Buildup – Dust accumulation can affect fan speed. Try cleaning the vents using compressed air.
- Update BIOS and Drivers – Ensure your BIOS and thermal drivers are up to date. You can download the latest versions from the HP Support website.
- Adjust Power Settings –
- Go to Control Panel > Power Options.
- Select High Performance and check if the fan speed improves.
- Run HP Hardware Diagnostics –
- Restart your laptop and press F2 repeatedly to enter the HP Hardware Diagnostics menu.
- Run the "System Test" or "Fan Test" to check for any hardware issues.
Could you please confirm which HP unit you are using? The exact model number will help us provide more specific troubleshooting steps.
Looking forward to your response!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
