I've done the resetting. It took 2 complete days for me to re-install all the software I had installed and returned to my state before resetting. However, it did nothing good, the issue persists. It's better to wait for a patch instead of doing a reset and see nothing changed.
Fans and CPU running very high Windows 10 Build 1903
I upgraded to windows 10 version 1903 a few weeks ago. Shortly afterwards I noticed that my fans were running extremely fast and my CPU temps per core were running in the mid 50s C at system idle. Previously they were running in the mid to high 30s C. Task Manager shows my CPU usage at 100%. I get things back to normal if I disable the Power service, but as soon as I enable it again, my fans begin to race and the temps go up. My system uses an ASRock motherboard with an Intel i7-8700k and an 8500 watt power supply. I use the Balanced power setting profile. Diagnostics for Power doesn't pick up anything and I can't find anything with Google for anyone with a similar problem. I had a similar issue a couple of years back, but it was caused by me using the High Performance power profile. Once I changed to the Balanced profile the problem disappeared. This time, the problem is occurring with the Balanced power setting. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

2019-08-24T00:20:14+00:00 Hello Everyone posting on this thread. I would not reset my PC for such a minor issue as this fan and CPU racing. If you reset your PC, you have to re-install all of your software as well as documents, music, pictures, emails, etc. This is a minor issue we are all dealing with. Microsoft will introduce a fix when it is available. You can let the system be if the fan noise doesn't bother you or you can disable the power service through services.msc. I advise against resetting you PC unless you really know what you are doing and you have all your software to reinstall as well as all your personal files like documents,.pictures, music, emails, etc. I will post here as soon as I know a fix is available.
In response to Richards thread - This is not a minor issue - Fan speeds increasing 30% or more are an issue on those running an older system - GPU,s and CPU,s that are running 20 to 30 degrees higher are not good - My Suggestion is what I posted prior it does fix the issue and yes you will need to reinstall your software and you need to backup the program installers - this does not take that much time. Since we do not know when the update will come I prefer to resolve what I can to insure My PC's are running properly.
I am not saying this is for everyone - I was only responding to those that sent me an email on what I did
sorry for the confusion if any

2019-08-24T00:03:20+00:00 Thanks for running this to ground. I started having this issue immediately upon applying the 1903 update to my poor, unsuspecting Surface Pro 6. I've disabled the power service as a work around. Will you be posting on this thread when the patch is available?
Yes, I will post as soon as a fix is available.

2019-08-23T23:12:57+00:00 Good evening all - I have had many people email me on my previous thread pertaining to the issues with Windows 10 version 1903 - I have tested the patch on various computers to track down what is actually happening - unfortunately this is a windows issue in which they are now aware of the issues and are working on a update - the time frame however in not known. However I do know there are a number of fixes out there that claim to resolve the issue - Let me make it clear - do not believe all that you read as some are only doing this so called fixes to actually do more harm than good. Anyone telling you to go into device manager and start changing certain aspects be aware unless you understand what you are doing please do not change anything.
Now there are some things that you can do that will help in the decrease of heat issues and fans running at higher speeds than previously.
First thing is to have a portable backup or a scan disk pref 32gb and download to that all your programs you have as well as anything else you need.
Now that you have done that go into your settings - then recovery - click on the get started - then click on remove everything. Follow all the prompts until windows resets your PC - if you have more than one drive then make sure you only reset the pc on that drive leave the rest alone.
Now that you are in that process of resetting the PC it will wipe your drive clean and then set it up again with 1903. You will want to go through the set up but this time when it wants you to proceed with all those programs checked - unchecked them as you will be able to choose later to enable them. Those programs like Cortana use a good amount of system resources which in turn heat up your process and graphics card. This is not the only program there are many that run in the background that cause these changes in your temps and fan speed.
I can pretty much guarantee you will see a great improvement.
Now this helps quite a bit but there are still other issues that are in the back end of the operating system that you are not able to fix yourself and windows developer team will have an update to resolve other issues you cannot.
I have tested this on 3 computers - 1 Gaming PC - 1 Laptop and 1 regular PC - each of these showed a great improvement.
I Hope this will help everyone out there
Thanks again for all of you that sent me emails and let me know how it goes for you
Thanks again Gaathan
