Activity monitor is better after I removed go login and shut down chrome and all safari tabs but it’s still getting hot fan is on high
Installing Chrome is pervasive. Quitting Chrome does not quit all the processes Google runs in the background (keep in mind that Google's main revenue source is selling personal data).
I'd just dump Chrome unless you absolutely require it.
Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. It changes NOTHING. Etrecheck was developed by a senior contributor here, and uses mostly system calls and simple tests to collect often-needed information.
it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed. Because less can be learned when your Mac is running great, best time to run is when your problems are actually occurring, if possible.
if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the System ClipBoard, then Pasted into an ‘Additional Text’ window in a reply on the forums.

The amount of data you get can be daunting. If you POST your report, some Readers here are willing to look over those reports, and can provide valuable insights.

When you sort the Activity Monitor display by % CPU, what is at the top of the list?
It’s chrome crashed handler at 190
on top second is safari web content. I tried once force quit crashpad but it didn’t
System at 21 % user 23% idle 75% fan is on within 2 minutes after turning on laptop
You’re absolutely right on spot about chrome. I’m gonna get rid of it. I force quit Google crashpad and restarted the laptop it’s good now.
im removing chrome.
thanks alot
Be sure you follow the steps in the link above. Just deleting the Chrome app will leave a bunch of Google agents running, and they'll start up automatically after a reboot.
Update; MacBook Pro is still heating up. Even though activity monitor not showing anything that’s even in double digits of cpu% at the moment. Any idea what can be causing this?
My MacBook Pro is running hot only after 2-5 minutes into opening laptop
