Fan runs a lot in Windows 10

Did not notice in Catalina when I ran Windows 10 in BootCamp but in Big Sur I now hear my fan in my Early 2020 Macbook Air running a lot more. I don't see the CPU cycles running high they mostly average under 30% utilization and most times under 10%. The notebook isn't even getting that warm requiring cooling fan.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Figured this out myself, just needed to allow updates to work through and seems to have settled down the fan.
