Description After every system restart, a Windows® 10 error message pops up: Application Cannot run – This Thunderbolt application is not in use anymore and can be safely uninstalled. Resolution Steps to remove legacy Thunderbolt™ 3 driver:
Additional information Why this is happening: The original Intel Thunderbolt Controller driver that was released when Thunderbolt 3 systems were first introduced was based on a different driver model from Microsoft’s new DCH driver model. This driver package included both the driver and software management utility within the single installer. The new DCH version of the Intel Thunderbolt Host Controller driver is provided separately from the software management utility. The driver is intended to be used in conjunction with the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) version of Intel Thunderbolt Control Center application. Because the non-DCH and DCH driver versions and utilities cannot be mixed, if a system is updated to the new DCH Thunderbolt driver, the non-DCH version of the software management utility will no longer work and the error message will appear.
