At startup I get a window saying "Windows cannot find igfxEM.exe"
I checked C\Windows\Systen32 and it is nowhere to be found. It also does not exist in C\Windows\SysWOW64.
However, PC appears to run normally. Should I do something about this missing file? Thanks for your help.

It is running twice. Justa as igfxHK module. One instance of igfxEM Module uses as much as 18,4 till 21% of my processor in laptop idle mode!
Maybe it is part of the graphics driver? (because I have an icon in the tray that is similar to the igfxTray.exe
