I have a couple HP laptops, both running Windows 11, and both Intel i5 CPUs. One is a 10th gen i5, and the other is a 12th gen i5. I have noticed both will spin up the cooling fans more lately than before, and when I look at the Speccy report, I see the CPU temp is in the 150 degree (F) range. They will then cool back down to the 100F to 120F range. Both just updated to Win11 24H2 26100.6584.

I believe Windows updates in the past have caused higher CPU temps. I never personally experienced those, but wondering if this recent spike in these laptops are having similar issues. Is 150F normal for a laptop CPU?
