E dey manage sessions between Windows apps and Intel DAL applets inside firmware. E no dey host WMI providers. Intel ME WMI registration na different helper.

Wetin make am dey run?

Intel ME / TXE / DAL components don install, usually na di PC maker put am. Machine wey no get dat package no suppose show Microsoft-signed jhi_service inside System32.

Inspect the running instance

Inside Windows PowerShell, this read-only query show matching process IDs, creation times and executable paths on this PC. (pcm)

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Process | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'jhi_service.exe' } | Select-Object ProcessId, ParentProcessId, CreationDate, Name, ExecutablePath | Format-List

No result or a path we no fit access is inconclusive. Protected processes fit restrict access, and process IDs fit be reused. Keep personal paths local. (pcm)

Use the file-identity guide to compare signatures and product metadata. A filename alone no fit establish safety. (pcm)

E dey safe?

E usually safe wen na Intel sign am

Intel-signed jhi_service under Management Engine Components\DAL na JHI. jhi_service.exe inside Temp no be am. Dis one still no be Windows inbox host.

Compare the recorded location with the actual file. A familiar folder alone no fit establish identity. (pcm)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL\jhi_service.exe

  • TXE builds fit use Intel\TXE Components\DAL
  • Service: Intel Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface Service
  • No be System32 Microsoft inbox

I fit end am?

DAL applet sessions fit fail

To end jhi_service.exe dey drop Host Interface sessions. Windows core processes go continue to run. Intel IPT or ME tools fit dey complain sot-tey di service start again.
