Overheating after Monterey 12.4 update

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.

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.
