Laptop fan keeps on spinning, and spins faster, after hard shutdown

[Help__Please]

When I do a shutdown of my laptop, either by pressing the button on the side, or using the Windows menu, or by means of a command (shutdown /s /t 00 or shutdown /f /s /t 00), first the regular shutdown procedure takes place, visible on the screen, but when the screen turns completely dark and one suspects Windows is really shut down, the fan keeps spinning, and even starts to spin faster, even if the laptop is closed. This loud spinning of the fan after shutdown can only be stopped by continuously pressing the button on the side of the laptop. I have already tried disabling fast startup, but that had no effect. I don't use hibernate or sleep; it's really a hard shutdown.

Hi, did you recently upgrade to Windows 11 or your laptop came pre-installed with Windows 11 when you bought it?

I recently upgraded to Windows11; it was not preinstalled.

Hi, @Help__Please  that is where the challenge is coming from. Windows 11 is known to have a lot of issues with hardware, drivers, and various software. It is advised that we do not upgrade to Windows 11 just yet until it has been properly sorted out.

A good choice may be to roll back to your previous version of windows.

Thank you for your quick response. If the problem is caused by the upgrade to Windows 11, which seems likely, I'll just wait for better drivers. I can 'shutdown' normaly, i.e. without fan running after shutdown, when I do a hibernate. This solves the problem for the time being.
