I find that you cannot get it to open options. It also only tells you to go to Intel for how to you use it. As one already has said is that they got to work for some gaming spices. I also saw that last time it was updated in 2015. Almost all OS's, windows have been updated to the point that old apps and software will no work now. So, I'm removing it. Please update this or do as I am doing "Remove It."

This extension does nothing. There is no guide about how to use it. I have also visited the https://gameplay.intel.com/?=cui4574 as written in one of the reviews here and it does nothing. Useless extension.
