I think IRS can be uninstalled without causing problems, although don´t see the point of doing it, as long as you don´t uninstall the drivers for the SATA controller. I would create a backup first. From my experience, I´d say that it´s not a good idea to meddle with Intel programs and drivers, especially if you don´t have problems with them.
Hi Robin, I just stopped it from starting with windows, as I read Win10 has this driver already. The win10 driver with the same function I believe is called ACHI. I'll restart it & see if I notice any slowdowns or speedups. Thanks Rico
