So i have had this problem for a while now where my fans will go to max speed when i start up my laptop when the laptop is cold (i bus to school in average -25c weather in winter so for the first class of the day it is usually fairly cold) and also when it is bumped regardless of temperature. I am running current version of windows and from looking at task manager the fan spikes dont seem to align with a spike in usage of on part. I have also have looked at my thermals all of which are around 35 - 40c and used a can of compressed air to remove dust and checked that the fans spin properly. The fans work properly when i am doing something like gaming.
Thanks in advance for any help.

@obamabinladen, Welcome to HP Support Community!
I understand you have issues with the fan, follow the steps below-
Step 1: Adjust the computer power settings
Adjust the power settings to decrease power consumption, which can help the fans maintain an optimal internal temperature up to 30° C (86° F).
-
Turn on the computer.
-
In Windows, search for and open Control panel.
-
In the Control Panel search field, type power options, and then select Power Options from the list.
-
Click Change plan settings.
-
Click Change advanced power settings.
-
Click the drop-down menu, and then select Power saver.
-
Select Sleep from the list, and then click Sleep after and Hibernate after to open each setting.
NOTE:
Sleep mode places the computer in a power-saving mode that does not close any open applications, while Hibernation mode saves any work in open applications, and then turns the computer off.
-
Decrease the amount of time for each setting to reduce unnecessary strain on the fans when the computer is not being used.
-
Click OK to save the changes.
-
Restart the computer.
If the issue persists, follow additional troubleshooting steps from the document HP Notebook PCs - Fan is Noisy and Spins Constantly (Windows).
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
