Intel XTU completely removed according to FAQ here. But something can NOT be removed. Please help to get rid of that.

1/ The folder C:\ProgramData\Intel\Intel Extreme Tuning Utility is automatically restored even after it's deleted manually in safe mode.

2/ twelve similar components "Intel(R) XTU Component Device" are present in Windows 10 Pro device manager. ID SWC\PROVIDER_Intel_COMPONENT_XTU.

I think something is till present in my system.

Intel core i7-9750H

Windows10Pro 1090 18363.836

Thank you!

I checked a freshly installed system at another laptop, everything looks the same. So, Asus Armoury Crate utility is implemented in such a lame way, imho.

Thank you for your help. This ticket may be considered closed.

I hope search engines are going to index this page for future searches.

Hello LMati5,

It seems that their systems has been further customized, possibly even accounting for this 'Asus Armoury Crate package' as you were highlighting.

Thank you for your feedback. It is highly appreciated.
