Well what's going on everybody and welcome back to the channel. I've got a quick fix today for laptop fan noise. Now it gets super annoying when you're trying to work on something or even listen to certain audio and you tend to hear the fans louder than more than the audio you're trying to listen to which is frustrating. So aside from opening the laptop and making sure that the fans don't have any dust build up it's a quick fix I'll do here. Now this is for the ones that I have fans because the newer laptops and like Surface Pro 5's they have a fan list design so you want to have settings for the fan. But real quick so if you go to start and if you just type in sleep or if you know you can type power to you you'll get the same results. Power and sleep settings and then on the right hand side here you're going to go to additional power settings and then change plan settings here and then change advanced power settings. Now once on this screen this is the main screen that we're looking for by the way. So once on this screen here you're going to scroll down until you find the process power management. So I'm going to expand that so you can expand with the plus and minus sign or minimize. So I'm going to go to system cooling policy I'm going to hit the plus sign. So notice how on batteries passive and plugged in is active. Now the ones that I work on the laptops view people said when plugged in it just it's super loud. So we're going to change this to passive. So on batteries passive and plugged in as well as passive and right below that you're going to see the maximum process state. What you're going to do for some people is 97 for most is 98% so we're going to change both of these values to 98. So I'm going to change that on battery to 98 and I'm going to change plugged in to 98. Again so some people say with 98 they still hear the fan and at 97 it works by I think any 97 98 should do the trick. So we have our on battery and plugged in both set the passive instead of active and we have the maximum process state set to 98%. For some reason I'm going to hit apply and I'm going to hit OK and that is it and that is all. So you'll notice that when the laptop is plugged in now you're not going to hear the fans spinning like crazy or it's not going to be annoying or frustrating. And that's it for this one.
