HP Spectre Folio - 13-ak0013dx
Microsoft Windows 11

My Spectre Folio Convertible 13 recently began to shut down while I was using it.  I had noticed that it was very hot just above the keyboard, I think that is the speaker grill.  I have tried spraying compressed air into that grill, since I see no other vent opening.  I don't think that helped.  I updated some drivers, including the BIOS. 

I rebooted, went to BIOS setup & chose Cool Mode.  I think this has helped a bit.

Sometime back I upgraded to Windows 11 & didn't see any problems.  Now I wonder if this is related.  Also, temperatures where I am recently got to the 90's, for maybe the first time since I upgraded.  So the temperature in the house stays close to 80F.

 

EDIT:  I loaded a program called Core Temp.  The temps look ok, except sometimes when I look at the dashboard, it seems that Core #1 is too hot for a moment & then it goes back to a reasonable temperature.  There is an exclamation point next to that value, even when it is a reasonable amount.  I think that means that it has overheated.  I wonder if I should try to figure out how to return to Windows 10.  Or maybe there's a way to cool this pc, even though it seems to have no fan and no vents.
