macbook pro heating issues 2018 while running windows 10

only using youtube and is getting very very hot, I have a 3.7k laptop config with the latest intel 2.9 cpu, still feel like the laptop is very very hot, I don't have high hopes , but for a laptop I paid 3.78k I do expect to not get heated like a cooking device.

You bought a high-end MacBook Pro. When it works, that work generates heat. When it works hard, it generates a lots of heat. If you want less heat, you could buy a computer than does not work as fast.


Your Mac controls its internal fan speeds in a feedback loop, based on measure temperatures. When more heat is being generated, the temperature rises, and the fans will run faster. They will slow down when the heat dissipates.


If you are running two Operating Systems concurrently, on a portable computer that runs on batteries, you are asking a lot of your MacBook Pro. Two Operating Systems concurrently takes a lot of processing power. If you switch to one-at-a-time, that would generate less heat.

I paid 3.7k to tell me I have to be an expert in order to solve the issue? This is like spam, no, no no you SHOULD solve the issue from the factory. Just both it yesterday I'll go to the first apple store to see what they say. If they won't be able to solve the issue( for sure they will ask me for a repro, just open an youtube and play it, you will see that your laptop is getting hot like ****). This hasn't solved my issue, not sure how this flag ended up there. Whatever you answer kaz-k is just non-sense.

MacOS contains slight modifications that allow it to sensibly manage many things about managing computer resources, including generated heat. One example is the scheduling of time-based actions into "clumps" of actions performed together, rather than enduring additional context-switching for events that would normally occur only microseconds apart.


I have never heard that Windows does anything to regulate processes impact on heat or performance is a similar way.
