I fixed my overheating issues. After 2 years of hard research.
The number one priority should be to cleaning dust from the laptop from inside. Assuming you have cleaned it and the overheating still persists:
1. Buy a cooling pad. Helps but doesnt entirely fix the problem.
2. Open the task manager and click the Performance tab. Under CPU check if the CPU speed is higher than your laptops specifications. e.g mine is Core i7 CPU @2.40GHz yet my CPU speed was around @2.90GHz sometimes @3.00Ghz. this is normal for most laptops. Its called 'Processor performance boost mode'. I underclocked the CPU to @2.40 and no more overheating issues. If you wanna do this there are 3 ways:
2a. Go into windows power options > Processor Power management > Maximum processor state > lower it to like 80%. (this has worked for many people but not me personally but it might work for you)
2b. Download 'Throttlestop' and open (no installation needed) Untick the option of 'SPEEDBOOST' and click save. (I dont like this option as you have to do this every time you turn your laptop on. But it works.
2c. This worked for me: I downloaded a registry file that added an additional option to my Windows power settings. Below above mentioned 'Maximum processor state' there is a new option 'Processor performance boost mode' and you just disable it. For some laptops you can enable this option in BIOS. For me I had to download a registry file to get the advanced power options. This is a bit advanced and I do not recommend it if you don't know what you're doing but if you want to do it google this or ask me.
I hope I helped.
