How to reduce the fan noise
The fan seems to have got very loud and annoying. Do I need to switch it out? It was fine for a year.

First thing is to clean fan and surrounding area. Canned air is good to do this so you don’t actually touch anything inside. A dirty fan could limit its cooling ability and result in it working hard to cool things down. Make sure any air vents , also, are free of dust. Here’s the service manual:
You may also have corrupted system files.
Run the System File Checker (SFC) in Windows 11/10/8/7.
Type cmd in the Start search box. In the result, which appears, right-click on cmd and select Run As Administrator.
In the command prompt window which opens, type the following
sfc /scannow
and hit the Enter key. Let it run and do its job.

Thanks. I don't think this is to do with heat. It started when it went from Windows 10 to 11. The fan is running even when the unit isn't particularly hot.
Hi Simon, I've edited the Answer above.
Unfortunately, it didn't find any integrity violations.
