Why won't my iMac fan turn off after the latest macOS update?

My iMac fan won't turn OFF since the last update. It just runs and its loud. I tried the SMC re-set. Nothing. This makes this computer unusable. AGAIN.

3.3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5, AMD Radeon Pro 5300 4 GB, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, 14.4.1 (23E224)

Have you installed any third-party Fan Control Utilities...?

If so, uninstall the utility as per the developers directions and reset the SMC again.


Then if that doesn't help, or.. if the iMac was opened up and worked on..?
