Inspiron 5594, Windows 20H2 update, fans running high

Yesterday i updated my laptop with the latest windows 20H2 update and since that time, my laptop fans have started to run very high as compared to previous days.. now they are running to almost full speed.. 

Can anyone please help me in regard to this?

Also, my vents and fans are totally clean so it's not an issue from the outside neither there is any dust where this laptop sits usually.. it started to work like this on my table itself overnight.

    In Control Panel under 'Power Options' I chose my default Dell power plan and picked 'Edit Plan Settings' then chose 'Change Advanced Power Settings'. I then went down to 'Processor Power Management' and changed 'Maximum Processor State' from 100% to 90%. I also set 'System Cooling Policy' to 'Passive'.

    Stopping the CPU from hitting 100% has stopped the PSU fan from revving like a jet engine. My system is much quieter now during gaming."

    Not sure if this will work for you, but it's worth a try.

    Additionally, here is information from the Dell knowledge base you may find helpful:

    I have the fans problem too on my Inspiron 5502 and I wanted to try what you're saying but in power options I don't have all those options like you're saying. Help! I don't know how to solve the problem!

    I have the same issue with Inspiron 14 5000. Never heard fan working before 20HC update, now it is running most of the time even CPU usage is down to 20%. I did reinstall clean Windows 10 again, then everything was fine again.

    I removed update from Windows 10 and fan went back to normal mode of operation. I am working with audio files, so I can't really have that fan noise in the background.
