Hello,
My MBA (13-inch, mid 2013) ist warming up after the latest update. I don't remember the fan working before since I bought it. It starts working without stopping with high heating especially on the left side. I use only Chrome, Excel, Word and that's it. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Best.
Thank you for your quick reply and help. I followed all 3 steps. The fan stopped overworking. Thank you. But the MBA is still really hot, esp. on the left half, even during just checking E-Mails. Shall I go back to the previous version using time machine?
Thanks.
CahooofromDus, uninstall the Google Chrome and use Safari instead. Chrome is a resource hog and while surfing the internet, it will increase your MacBooks temperature. You have nothing to loose if you uninstall it. Let me know the results.
Its not practical to go back to the previous version of Yosemite (10.10.2). Instead, I will recommend you to do a clean reinstall of your original preinstalled OS X i.e; Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Its a much much stable OS X for your macbook air. Give it a try.
Hope this helps.....
