Intel XTU component device causing problems for my laptop

[Hadercene]

Hi

A few days ago my laptop suddenly started heating whenever I did any GPU intensive work.

Turns out Windows is showing the following error "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)" for Intel(R) XTU Component Device.

The thing is that my device is a laptop so I have no idea what it is doing here in the first place.

I tried rolling back the driver for it and when I do it changes into Microsoft's Generic Software Component but as soon as I restart my computer it changes into Intel XTU component device again.

I can't even uninstall it as doing that also brings it back the next time I restart.

I have attached the screenshots to better explain the problem.

I have tried doing everything I can myself and would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this.

So the Intel support engineers can have more information about your system, Please download and run the Intel System Support Utility (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility-for-Windows- ) for Windows. Select all data categories and then have it generate a report. Next, have the tool Save the report to a text file (don't try to use the Submit capability; it doesn't work). Finally, using the Drag and drop here or browse files to attach dialog below the edit box for the body of your response post, upload and attach this file to the response post.
