My MacBook Pro started to overheat after the Monterey 12.4 update. The coolers don't work until the CPU temperature reaches 60-70(C). Even then they rotate very slowly. Thus, the processor heats up to 100 degrees.
Does anyone have the same problem? Do you know how to fix this?

First try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.
How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.
If still problem open Activity Monitor and select CPU. What process(es) are using a lot of CPU?
Safe mode and still over heating
1 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
2 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
3 - If after performing each of the above steps is the order that have been presents and still have issues - please advise for possible further assistance.

What actions has the user taken to fix this issue ?
Reliable , accurate, details and context will really help to pinpoint a possible solution.
Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.
The application is free or paid from added features.
Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).
It will take a Snap Shot - both the hardware and software.
The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information.

I've tried different kinds of reboots, but nothing works for me. And there are no processes that load the CPU. Even if nothing is running except Safari and mail and the CPU load is less than 20%, the situation is the same.
It turned out that the cause of the problem was the Cisco AnyConnect application. I deleted the application and all Cisco networks and the issue was solved.
Thanks everyone for help.
Nothing helps. Neither safe mode nor a new account
Good
