Fixing Intel XTU for Skylake CPU under Windows 11

13 May 25 14:53 CST Technology Sp-Cy

I was having issues running the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility in my Windows 11 System. It installed fine but when trying to launch it I got a message saying that it was unable to run because there was another application or process monitoring the CPU. After several tries across different days I decided to dig deeper using Perplexity.ai

I didn’t get an immediate solution but after the first inquiry I got clues of what was wrong so I’m writing this guide to help other users that may be running into the same issue under similar system conditions.
