Killer Services conflict with Microsoft/Windows Sites and Apps

I have to disable any Intel Killer Services to:

  • Sync Windows Profiles to my Windows 11 computer.
  • Connect to OneDrive and sync files.
  • Log in to the Outlook application without being greeted with "Error! No internet connection." while I surf the web.
  • Install apps from the Microsoft App Store.
  • Install Windows Updates.
  • Connect or log in to Windows/Microsoft websites.
  • Fix Windows installation issues with the media creation tool.
  • Scan for Windows/drive issues with "scan now" or Health checks.
  • Connect to the Add-ins webpage via Outlook.
  • Repair and reset Microsoft applications via Windows troubleshooting.

I use 2 HP Omen 4K 27u monitors, and if the Killer Performance Suite is installed, the monitors are rendered useless until I unplug them, uninstall the suite, restart, and plug them back in.

I own an MSI Raider GE76 laptop:  3080ti, 2, 2TB SSDs, Intel i9 12th Gen. The issues started July 10th, and after two weeks of restarts and clean installs, I turned off the killer services, and everything worked again. When I uninstalled the Killer Performance Suite, my monitors had no more issues.

I updated the Killer Performance Suite two days ago and restarted my computer. The monitors stopped responding. I uninstalled the suite, and they were back to normal.

I tried to install an app from the MS Store an hour ago but could not. Everything mentioned above wasn't working. I went into Windows Services and turned off all Killer/KTM services then everything worked again.

I'm sharing this because I want to know if others experience this.  I also want to make Intel aware if they are looking.

Yes, my firmware, bios, and graphics card drivers are up-to-date.  Current Intel Arc drivers do the same, so I don't install them.

Hello JStamp, 


In addition to my last post. If the issue persists after installing Intel® Killer™ Performance Suite I recommend you to get in contact with MSI for further support since this issue could be related to the browser or operating system.
