Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 driver & program keep installing itself

[FSanc3]

Hi there,

This have been going on since a few weeks now and kinda annoying, so hopefully someone here at Intel will be able to help.

I have a Intel 6800 CPU which I have installed in my new Strix x-99 motherboard. I do not want or need to use the Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 driver nor program. I have even disabled that "unknown device" in device manager to avoid windows to install that driver in any update. Problem is, one day when booting my computer I had the TBMT all installed like if I did it myself, even showing in the Windows starting menu as "new installed program". The way I noticed the install is that a message pops up on my screen after the computer boots saying that TBMT crashed and need to close. So I close it, go uninstall it again, then reboot my machine and go to disable the "unknown device" again in device manager. Then, around a week after when booting my computer, same thing happens. TBMT shows all installed but crashing right away. I then have to repeat the uninstall process.

This is getting quite annoying, so if there is another way to stop that TBMT from installing itself, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hello Orcatrainer,

Thank you for contacting Intel Communities.You can disable the Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 from the BIOS (if the option is available - contact Asus for information), in that way, Windows shouldn't be able to install/update any driver related to Intel® ITBM as the device associated with it wouldn't be detected by the OS.If you keep on having the issue, you can check the following article from How To Geek:https://www.howtogeek.com/263851/how-to-prevent-windows-from-automatically-updating-specific-drivers/ How to Prevent Windows from Automatically Updating Specific Drivers - How To GeekNOTE: This link is being offered for your convenience and should not be viewed as an endorsement by Intel of the content, products, or services offered there.Hope this information helps.Please let me know how it goes.Regards,JC

Thank you for you fast and useful response. Found out it was indeed windows updates that was trying to install this driver all the time by itself. Blocked it using the group policies editor in Windows 10, and all seems to work fine now.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Could you say how you managed to block the update of Intel TBMT from re-installing?

Just follow the link from "how to geek" above, about editing the group policies in Windows.

Works perfectly.
