What is igfxEM.exe? Is igfxEM.exe a virus or a safe file?

When you turn on your Windows computer, a lot happens behind the scenes, even before the operating system boots. Some programs stored on the motherboard get everything in the computer ready to start the operating system. Other programs on the operating system ensure that changes and settings you made to your computer before you turned it off remain the same when you restart it.

One such program is the Intel Graphics Executable Main Module, or IgfxEM module for short. It is an integral part of the Windows operating system and usually runs in the background without affecting the performance of your PC.

However, there are cases where this graphics module is a nuisance. We have seen complaints and reports about the IgfxEM process using high CPU resources, increasing CPU temperature, and exhibiting other anomalies.
