Why does Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility refuse to start?

[VGrgi]

Hi all,

can anyone help me with XTU not wating to start beacuse there might be another performance tuning app running (which isn't true). Yesterday when I installed it it worked perfect. I did some undervolting and today I wanted to try it some more, but the program won't start.

Thanks

Hello VGrgi, Thank you for patience. In this case please consider that our Intel (r) XTU tool can be used by any device but is specially designed for desktop systems. Since your system is a Laptop (Lenovo*), we don't really know where the readings from undervolting are coming from, especially, that most of the BIOS setting are coming from system manufacturer and most of the time, it's pre-defined. We strongly recommend you to contact them in order to perform issue replication or to look for an Intel (r) XTU version that might be optimized by them. I hope this helps. Diego S.
