Microsoft Windows 11

Hello all, 
weird issue started happening today.

Essentially at some point the fan started and while that's not unusual, it was never turning off so I looked at task manager and found Intelligent_Charging_Scheduler  (ICS.exe) consuming 10-12% all the time.

I waited a while to see if it was a temporary thing but nothing.

- Rebooted and still the same
- Installed all recent updates and still the same
- Changed settings in HP Power manager (tried all of them) and still the same

The only way to stop it is to kill the process.

NOTE: while installing updates, there was one that apparently failed: BIOS sp140214 version 01.09.02. However, while after the first attempt it was still proposed in the HP Support assistance updates, the second time around it's gone, so I can't say if it was installed or not.

Running Windows 11 21H2 build 22000.675 

If you any additional information will be happy to provide it.

Thanks for any help.
