I recently came across several Valorant optimization videos, but they’re all gone now. It wasn’t Razor or iObit—it seemed quite basic and open-source. My laptop has been getting hot lately; without air conditioning at 37°C, things are going to get worse soon. Throttlestop is limiting it to 3 watts, yet I still face high temperatures. At 60°C idle, I can’t afford to install a new fan or case. Maybe I’ll have to reinstall Windows again, but updating automatically will just replace all the technical terms. Thanks.

Happy New Year!
My computer has been overheating lately and I don't have air conditioning at 37°C, but things will get much worse soon.
Could you share the laptop's make and model? An SKU would be very useful. Have you done any undervolting with ThrottleStop? A quick note, does your device have any pending BIOS updates?
I might need to reinstall Windows again, but autoupdate will just replace all the technical terms.
On this topic, what operating system are you using?

The behavior of Windows services is interesting: when functioning correctly, they remain inactive most of the time, only using minimal resources. They don’t actively consume CPU unless required. If a service seems to run continuously, it’s probably not related to the issue at hand.

Such applications are rarely wise to pursue.

There is a program like this that you should avoid using and never rely on

There is a native utility available in Windows for this purpose—why would we introduce third-party tools that might bring unexpected issues? The services tool, accessible via Ctrl+R, opens the run menu and allows you to manually input the name of executable files. Simply type "services.msc" without quotes.

There was once a gamer online who maintained a site listing unnecessary services. I don’t like making changes because altering something might cause issues later, and you might forget to turn it off or disable it.
