Where did this XTU entry come from?

I was just going through the list of startup items to disable Windows Defender related entries when I saw this entry for XTU that is dated back to December although I have just installed this latest build of Windows 10 1607 4 days ago

Where on earth did this come from?



@Mr. Fox @Prema

 

XTU has been installed on that computer at one point, and the uninstall didn't remove XTU files.

It's not uncommon for an uninstaller to leave files behind during an uninstall, that's why I use an uninstaller tool like IOBit Uninstaller to clean up after the uninstaller is "done".

 

No man, I don't even have the setup file for XTU nor will I ever install or keep that virus on my computer.

Could this be related to the Clevo Control Center @Prema ??

As I mentioned, this is a fresh new clean install of Windows 10 just done 3 days ago

 

That's pretty weird... I checked and Intel didn't include XTU with Windows 10 AU, as there are threads talking about XTU driver signing issues when trying to install, and Intel replying they couldn't replicate the problem.

Maybe you were sleep installing XTU?

 

Clevos Control Center uses the same access into the EC controller as XTU Turbo FANs stuff, so it maybe some shared stuff. It's not like I have seen it being bundled with CCC, but I have neither taken it apart to see it's actual components either...yet.

 

I hope someone with the Control Center installed can carefully go through their startup items as shown in the pic above (it's below in the items not the top ones) and see if they have this XTU entry there

@Papusan

 

I have CC disabled / uninstalled. Nothing tempts me in this Bloatware. Absolutely nothing!! I'll start up and see if I can find the same file as you have later tonight. Clevo is one of the few brand that almost recommend that you can use XTU for overclocking if you have the correct cpu. Maybe some Xtu settings is hooked up in Nvram after first time use? Who knows what happens if you have had Xtu installed earlier and CC share the same stuff after install ? Have you cleared Cmos after previous use of XTU?

 

Bro I never used XTU ever on this laptop. The only time I used it was on my previous Clevo P870DM but not on this Eurocom Sky X9

 

Are you using latest CC for DM2/3? Maybe Xtu services is hooked in latest CC? See image.

 

Nothing here.. And i do not have CCC or XTU installed.

 

I also did not find this on my machine. I shall installing the latest version of Autoruns and see if it finds more. Maybe the last version of CC has something to do with this? I will installing the last CC also and look after this. @bloodhawk Do you use latest CC?
Edit. Ps I have not installed Windows 10 Anniversary yet

 

I had it installed, then removed it.

 

It may well be the last CC can be the culprit. Because I think Clevo added CPU overclocking in last CC v5.0001.0.73 for DM2-3... If I read it correctly and CC 0.73 is for DM2-3.

 

@Mr. Fox @Phoenix @Prema @bloodhawk @TBoneSan
WTF... XTU service included on the last CC. Tested newest CC ver v5.0001.0.73 just now. But XTU installer is not included in the programs and functions (where you delete installed software in windows). Perverse!!!! Latest version CC v5.0001.0.73 is intended for the new DM2-3 and most likely not the old P870.





Controll panel contains no CPU clocking for P870DM-G, such as the new model.

CC ver 73 Cpu/memory Overclocking work for the new P870DM2-3 ↓↓↓↓↓

The old modell of P870 with same controll center ver 73, but with NO overclocking of cpu/memory ↓↓↓↓

 

Well that explains why my GPU clocks got completely messed up.

 

A DAMN BIG BIG BIG MESS FROM CLEVO!!!!

 

FFS that's probably why I've had all those issues with auto fans not spinning down.. OMG. Kiss another day away reinstalling Windows. Fingers crossed my last image didn't have CC installed..

Agghhrr so annoyed.

 

Great find bro, I'll remove that new control center from the drivers page soon

 

@Phoenix Have you the latest working CC? Damn ****!!! I should never tested this JUNK!!! Haven't time for new istall of Os now..

Edit. Those with the new P870DM2-3 shall have this Bloated JUNK??? KISS me

 

Would loading up an old image even work to get rid of this filthy cancer?

 

I don't know. But I will see what happen with XTU in services after uninstall of this damn JUNK. Not even a uninstaller for XTU → → → → → But XTU installer is not included in the programs and functions (where you delete installed software in windows). Perverse!!!!
People need to read the manual for DM2-3!!! They are hereby Warned about this CRIPPLED BLOAT. Is Clevo the new Lenovo? Damn!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo

 

Is this the latest working CC? http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...g-drivers-mirror.786094/page-18#post-10259019
I will install this older CC after I have uninstalled CC 0.73. Try Overwrite the new Crap before I uninstall the old CC again.
I will try Revo uninstaller on this mess!!

 

Latest one I was using was x.0000.50

I didn't check for that XTU virus entry though I found out just recently by coincidence

 

I'm on an iPad in a cafe now give me 3 hours and I'll upload it

 

Only if you didn't have CCC installed. I always take a clean image with 0 driver installation after I configure Windows to my liking so I can go back to a clean slate

 

I download this one now http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...g-drivers-mirror.786094/page-18#post-10259019

 

You sure you didnt have X.73 Installed? Thats what i was asking about in the Drivers thread.
Because, x.73 was the one that messed up my GPU P states.

Download it from the Asia server

 

I have .73 installed now and .50 before

 

Wow.. dodged a bullet..I've got a image 1 day before I installed. Happy days.. now i'll use my day off today for something more interesting.

 

I disabled CC in Autoruns. Rebooted and NO CC started, But the damn XTU service run as usual, LOL. I will uninstall CC now and see what will happen

 

I used Revo uninstaller. See images

Last image. The forum site + see images is useless now
↓


Edit. XTU uninstalled!! Who want to use CCC for the new DM2-3? LOL
Controll Center was useless before, But the version for the new Clevo models take the cake!!

 

Seriously....A simple system restore will remove it. Unless you guys are part of that crowd that disables it? Thinking it's going to speed up your computer or something?

 

I tested the Crap only for bro @Phoenix I don't like the Crap A total useless software. Should be banned!! HaHa

 

Well, if i get one ill be doing all sorts of testing. Since it wont be my main machine I will be able to crash it as many times as I want.

 

Yeah. Not use the main machine as the Guinea Pig But bro @Phoenix must start to be more critical of what he put into http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-p870dm-dm-g-drivers-mirror.786094/ HaHaaaaaaaa!!

 

Guess i was right lol

 

I won't be stealing such drivers from other taptops in the future

 

Yes, lets leave the other "taptops" alone.

 

What am I missing? What's wrong with XTU?

 

Let that go @HTWingNut!

Nah, but I gues it has something to do with stuff not sticking after reboots and it was messing up the fan profiles on certain models. And they would have to uninstall and reinstall and a few other things. To get it to work part of the time. So the concensus is not not use it at all.
Me, I'll use it if it's the only thing working and nothing better for that particular situation.

 

@Papusan @bloodhawk

Control Center AP v5.0001.0.50

 

Messes up the fan tables

 

System Restore didn't fix my fans. Also my Reflect Image goofed..

Lol...

Wiped and re-installed Windows and fans are back.
But dam.. these stock Clevo fan tables are so slow to react.

 

Da have that one already .

Man wish i could just wipe as easily as you guys.

 

Now that is interesting!

 

hey bro, if I have the Windows 7 USB that you want, how can I make an image of it?

ImageUSB creates a forsenic image which means, the ISO will be huge as it takes into consideration even the free space on that USB. Any other suggestion?

 

@Papusan @Mr. Fox @Prema @bloodhawk @hmscott

So I uninstalled Control Center AP v5.0001.0.73 and removed all file and registry remnants using Revo Uninstaller then rebooted. Next, I installed Control Center AP v5.0001.0.50 and there is no XTU service!

 

You're awesome! If you just dump the content into a folder then .rar/zip it I should be able to work with that.
That should avoid the size issues of the image too.
