KILLER Network windows starting message

[Lifeman67]

Hello,
Since a few days, on every starting in Windows 11 I have a message (in french)
"Obtenir une application pour ouvrir ce lien 'killernetworkmanagerlauncher' 
Votre PC n'a pas d'application qui peut ouvrir ce lien. Essayez de rechercher une application compatible dans le Microsoft Store".

Even after reinstalling 
KillerPerformanceSuite_40.25.509.1465_Win10-11x64

Could you help me to solve this ?

Been getting the same message recently also. Even tried installing the same exe app.

I am also getting the same message popup.
Dell XPS1510, Windows11, Killer(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX1650s 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (201D2W)

After several attempts, where I was getting a notification that a higher level was already installed on my laptop, I downloaded and reinstalled the Intel Killer Performance suite from the Intel website:

https://www.intel.fr/content/www/fr/fr/download/19779/intel-killer-performance-suite.html

This now seems to have rectified the problem.

Hy,

The wireless is a Killer(TM) Wi-Fi 7 BE1750w 320MHz Wireless Network Adapter (BE200D2W).

This problem appered after Killer application update or Windows update (I don't remember).

Sincerly

I had the same problem, I downloaded and reinstalled the Intel Killer Performance suite from the Intel website:

https://www.intel.fr/content/www/fr/fr/download/19779/intel-killer-performance-suite.html

and the Killer Control Center from the Microsoft Store (just check the box at the end of the suite installation that will send you to the MS Store) and I no longer get the message.

You're welcome, Mike,

I have another solution in case you don't want to reinstall the Killer Performance suite, you need to download Autoruns from the Microsoft site:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

Unzip it
Right-click on "Autoruns64" and run as administrator
Toggle off "Hide Windows Entries"
In the search bar, type "Killer"
In the list, right-click on "Killer Startup Task" and delete it.

Hi,

You don't need to install anything, there's already a Task Scheduler Microsoft application.

[Arkan01]

There's nothing to install, it's just an executable, it's simpler and quicker this way than using the task scheduler, and my windows isn't in English, so it would have been more complicated for the screenshots and explanations

[Phil23]

Yes, nothing to install and even nothing to download.

No, downloading a software and toggling things is not faster or simpler than:
- Open Task Scheduler
- Right click "Killer Startup Task"
- Select disable (or delete)

It's fine that you offered a solution that certainly helped some people.
Don't bother justifying.
I just replied to your post for people to know there's an even simpler solution already available on their computer.

[Arkan01]

I understand your point, but to be honest, your comment — while technically correct — isn't particularly helpful to most users.

Simply saying “use Task Scheduler” without context or screenshots assumes a level of familiarity that many people don’t have. In fact, a lot of users don’t even know what the Task Scheduler is, let alone how to navigate it or which task to disable.

That’s exactly why I took the time to create a detailed step-by-step guide — with visuals — to make the process easy and accessible for everyone, not just power users.

So yes, both solutions exist, but one is complete and user-friendly, while the other is just a short pointer.
