XTU - Still overclocked after uninstall

[Myndighetene]

Hi!

I uninstalled the Intel XTU app, but still the CPU is overclocked. I tried change the OC in BIOS, but windows keeps overriding it. In safe mode my clock speed is default (3.8 Ghz on a 10700K).
When I uninstalled XTU I clicked the delete the profile box to. But that didn't set it back to 3.8. Cause I had 4.7 as the previous default value since an old windows install, and 4.9 before uninstalling. So it only reverted back to 4.7, and not 3.8 Ghz. I have tried to get rid of all traces of the XTU app. The device manager no longer have traces of it. Nor is it any XTU services running. I do however see some XTU files in the Windows folder. No allowed to delete them. Not even in safe mode. What do I do here? I want my CPU back to it's factory settings without having to reset Windows. It's an Asus MB. I also uninstalled AI Suite 3, as I thought it might interfere, but to no avail. Can anyone please assist? It must be some leftovers some place as it is showing factory defaults in Safe Mode.
