Intel folder has nothing but IntelCPHS.log. In use???
C:\Intel\ has a subfolder and a single file in that called IntelCPHS.log. I attempted to delete the log so that I could work my way up and delete the Intel folder (which does not appear on my other main Intel-CPU PC), and I can't delete it because it's "open in content protection HECI service."
CPHS is easy to find in Autoruns, and has a checked box. Any advice on unchecking the box and deleting the log file and then the Intel folder will be welcome.
Tx,
Dan

Here's what the Intel Community says about HECI: "The Intel(R) Content Protection HECI Service is used to enable premium video playback (such as Blu-ray*) for Intel® HD Graphics." If you're not playing back video and using HECI, nothing wrong with getting rid of it. Even if you are, it probably just means it'll re-create itself the next time you do so. You can boot your PC to a bootable repair disk, then simply delete <D>:\Intel\IntelCPHS.log where you'll substitute the drive letter for what is normally your C: drive (figure out what it is by running diskpart then list volume to see which drive letter has been allocated to it).
HTH,

Thank you, Ed, as always.
I don't do videos on this machine, so I took your "nothing wrong with getting rid of it" as Gospel. My method was simple: I went to the file in Autoruns, unchecked it (disabled it temporarily), rebooted, found deleting the file and the super-folders easy, and went back and enabled the CPHS in Autoruns. Done.
Your counsel is always appreciated, Ed.
