Unable to start XTU because the drivers are not present (i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz)

[HYPERBOLOiD]

Windows 11

When I try to run 7.12.0.29 I get the following message:

"The Intel Extreme Tuning Utility cannot be started because the drivers are missing. Install the latest Intel Extreme Tuning Utility from https://www.intel.com"

I already tried these steps but they don't solve the problem:

You do know that your processor cannot be overclocked, correct?   Only  X and K processors can be overclocked.

Yes, I'm aware, I just want to run it, because I am satisfied with its interface to monitor the system.

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities.   

As @AlHill mentioned, the Intel® XTU is supported with unlocked processors (K- and X-series) only.

Also, Intel XTU may or may not work on unsupported processors. You can verify the information here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/17881/intel-extreme-tuning-utility-intel-xtu.html
