Fan runs fast and CPU at high usage

I have MacBook Air 2017 , with latest update of Catalina OS , after updating the fan starts normal but when booting finished the fans goes at full speed,


Troubleshooting i did:


1- Air vents of the fan are clean

2- Run Activity Monitor; found most of the time (Kenerl_Task and Windoserver) taking more than 100% of the CPU.

3- Tried to restart / shutdown , problem remain the same


Please help
