Igfxtray.exe - what is it?

The process "igfxtray.exe" is always found in the Task Manager. But what is that exactly? We will explain it to you.

The Intel driver igfxtray.exe

The igfxtray.exe file is not a Windows program. It is part of the Intel graphics driver that runs when the system starts.

• This enables the Intel driver to start the graphics configuration and diagnostics application. They ensure that your graphics card works correctly with Windows.
• However, make sure that the file is in the path [C: \ Windows \ System32]. Because only in this case is it really the Intel driver. If the program is in a different directory, it is most likely a Trojan.
• You can find the location by right-clicking the process in Task Manager. Here you select the entry [Open file path].

If you want to be on the safe side, you can check the file with an antivirus. You can find out exactly how this works in this practical tip.
