Description
When trying to open the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU), the system shows an error:
Unable to start Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility because the drivers are not running. A reboot may be necessary if Intel Extreme Tuning Utility was just installed, otherwise download and install the latest version of Intel Extreme Tuning Utility from official website.
My PC
Motherboard: ASUS TUF B660M DDR4 WIFI
CPU: Intel Core 12600K
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO PLUS
RAM: Kingston DDR4 16G*2 3200
Events
Before, I was able to open Intel Extreme Tuning Utilities normally and tried to tune the CPU frequency to 4.7GHz using Auto Overclock.
I changed the CPU cooling from air cooling to 240 water cooling and removed and reinstalled the CPU from the CPU snapper, reapplied the silicone grease and spilled a bit on the capacitor on the green bezel of the front CPU, but I cleaned it up.
On reboot it prompted that I had a new CPU and needed to press F1 to get into Setup. i did not make any changes and got into the system.
I tried to open Intel Extreme Tuning Utilities, but it failed to open. I uninstalled it and manually cleaned all uninstall residue, then reinstalled and rebooted, but it still failed to open.
All other things of my PC are working well.
