@Joan52,

 

Welcome to the HP Forums!

 

This is a wonderful place to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips.

 

I reviewed your post and understand that fan is making a loud noise after a recent Windows update.

 

I'll be glad to help you 🙂

 

In order that I may provide you with an accurate solution, I will need a few more details.

  • When was the last time the computer was working fine?
  • Have you made any software or hardware changes on the computer?

 

Meanwhile, I recommend you follow the steps in the below article and check if it helps.

If the issue persists, I recommend you perform a system restore back to the date when the computer was working fine. Follow the steps in the below article to perform a system restore.

Let me know how it goes. Awaiting your reply!

 

If the solution provided helps, please mark this as “Accepted Solution” as it will help several others with the same issue to get it resolved without hassles.

 

Good day! Take care 🙂

 

Cheers!
