Hp laptop fan keeps turning on and off! help!!?
My HP elitebook win 10 (less than a year old) fan keeps turning on and off repeatedly. It runs for like 5 sec, stops, rinse and repeat. It just started having this issue and im not sure whats going on. I tried to look up online, and couldnt really find too much. I tried switching power settings, changing the cpu fan setting to passive, ect. It does it plugged in and unplugged. I noticed some hp windows update failed to install on windows update, had to do with some missing or corrupted file so im not sure if thats related. Im trying to do a "fresh start option on win 10 settings" to see if that fixes it. Otherwose what else could it be??? Its drivinng me bonkers!

if you have a problem you still have 2m warranty, contact HP support for further advice

There might be a resource-heavy background app that's going on and off too frequently.

My HP does the same. It uses a step function for control much like a thermostat regulates the house temp. It's either on or off. The response sensitivity might be able to be changed, but you'll have to call HP support to find out. My guess is that you can't. Maybe get one of those laptop supports that have a built in fan which runs constantly and doesn't cycle. The laptop is cycling to preserve power and it doesn't want to either be on all the time or off all the time.
