How to completely remove Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility?


Old thread but I came across this same service on my machine and am posting a solution for anyone else that stumbles across this thread searching for instructions as I have been unable to locate a straight answer on removing this Intel tuning service from windows 10.

You have to use the installutil.exe utility that ships with the Microsoft .Net Framework. The utility has to be ran from a command prompt with administrative rights. And since the .Net framework folder is not included in the path environment variable, you'll need to navigate to the folder that contains the executable manually.

Two things yo need, the path to the installutil.exe executable and the location and name of the Intel tuning service executable you want removed.

The installutil.exe file can be found at:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe

The tuning service I removed was installed at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility\XtuService.exe

Using those pieces of information, open a command prompt as an admin and enter (your information for the location of the extreme tuning service may be different, I'm showing mine here as an example):

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility\XtuService.exe

Hit enter and when it is complete, reboot and the service should be gone. You can also safely delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility folder and its contents.
