XTU Windows 11: Issues with sleep and restart

JStewart

1) When the system goes to sleep, and then resumes, a connection to the XTU service is broken. 

 

2) Upon a reboot, which triggers an unloading of the XTU service, the system will crash to a black screen before Windows completes its shutdown.  I suspect there is instability as a result of 

The motherboard halts, and displays an error code for CPU overheat. 

 

While I have experienced #1 occasionally in the past, #2 appears to be happening after the latest update of the XTU software (7.12.0.29).

The motherboard is running the latest patch/BIOS from ASUS (issued Sept. 7, 2023) and Intel ME firmware 11.12.94.2479.

JStewartThank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.


We are sorry to hear about this issue and we will be more than glad to assist you with this matter. 


In order for us to provide the most accurate assistance on this scenario, we just wanted to confirm a few details about your system:

Is this a new computer?

Did you build it?

Was Intel® XTU working fine before on this specific machine?

If yes, when did the issue start?

Did you make any recent hardware/software changes that might cause this problem?

Does the problem happen at home or in the work environment?

Please attach the SSU report so we can verify further details about the components in your platform, check all the options in the report including the one that says "3rd party software logs":

This is not a new computer. Yes, I built it. 

 

XTU was working fine before, yes. It appears to have started after updating the XTU client. This is in a home environment. 

Reverting to 7.11.5 has resolved the issue.

Ah well, I take that back.... it did not solve the issue. And now, interestingly, after uninstalling, wiping all traces, and reinstalling the latest version my profile does not restore upon reboot/restart. 

I'll try to get back to this with logs for you to look at.

...aaaaand now it's behaving. 

 

Welp, I'll attach these anyway in case it's of any use. FYI, XTU and XTUService in the event logs are normal. Which makes sense because everything is working.

No further assistance required, thank you. I have uninstalled the tool and made changes in the BIOS directly.
