Intel TV Wizard

What is Intel TV Wizard?

Enables seamless setup and configuration to TVs and resolves overscan issues with a simple step-by-step guide to automatically or manually configure your PC to any TV.

Overview

Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is TvWizard2ft.exe. The software installer includes 35 files and is usually about 11.48 MB (12,036,242 bytes).
