I have a laptop with Intel GPU and their software is currently faulty in that it globally registers certain keyboard hotkeys and won't let them go. The way to kill them is to kill the igfxHK Module:
The problem is that this "module" which is represented with the C:\Windows\system32\igfxHK.exe file is started after each reboot.
I have tried using Autoruns to disable it but when I do a search for "igfxHK" there, it yields no results. What are some other ways I can try to disable this EXE from starting up with Windows?

I found igfxCUIService1.0.0.0 in autoruns, where CUI is common user interface. On a hunch, I disabled that. Hotkeys are now fine on reboot. So far I haven't noticed any negative consequences.
