Resolved M1 Macbook Air - Suddenly gets hot after Ventura Upgrade

[englishman]

Had an M1 Air for months and its always been stone cold on even prolonged heavy use.

I upgraded to Ventura a few days ago and since then it runs hot.

I might downgrade back to Monterey if I cant fix it.

Anyone else with similar?

Weird, I have been beta testing and it never got hot after Beta 5.

Thanks. Seems ok today after a restart. Maybe I'll persevere. Perhaps a rogue app runing.

Next time (hopefully not) you should check Activity Monitor to see what is running. Make sure you choose to sort by % CPU in the CPU tab and in the View menu the All Processes menu item is check marked.

Good advice thanks. A bit rusty.

After usually any major update, the Photos app goes nuts cuz it's "re-analyzing" your photo library. That takes quite a long time and depending on what you've got going on and other apps open(like Chrome), it could get a bit warm doing that until it's done..

Thanks. It seems to be back to normal now. Cool. I'll see if I can close the thread or mark solved.
