Intel Corporation, Application

Intel Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface (DAL / JHI) service. E dey allow host apps talk to Intel DAL applets. E no be Microsoft OS host.

## Wetin you need know

Intel DAL/JHI service, no be Microsoft OS host.

jhi_service.exe na Intel Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface Service. Na JHI, di host side of Intel DAL. E dey live under Intel Management Engine Components, no be System32 as Windows inbox image. To end am no dey stop lsass or services.exe.

- **E safe?**: Check the running file path, signature, and publisher. Name alone no fit confirm say e safe.

  **Na Windows?**: No. Intel DAL/JHI, no be Microsoft host

  **I fit uninstall am?**: Only with di Intel ME package

Feex tok say

If jhi_service dey under Program Files (x86)\Intel, I dey treat am as DAL/JHI. I no dey reset Windows system files make I take "comot Intel."

## Wetin be jhi_service.exe?

jhi_service.exe na Intel DAL/JHI, no be Microsoft OS host. JHI na di Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface. Microsoft no dey ship dis filename as Windows inbox binary.

## Wetin e dey do?

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](https://feex.it/wiki/l/pcm/software/system/verify-executable-path-signature/) 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.

## I fit comot am?

Only with Intel ME software

No delete jhi_service.exe. Repair or uninstall Intel Management Engine / DAL from di PC maker. No delete System32 files make you take "comot JHI."

## E suppose start with Windows?

Di Intel DAL Host Interface service dey start am. Dat one na vendor install, no be Windows Startup Apps default.

## Measure resource use

| Signature check            | Inspect the actual file; this entry no dey certify its certificate identity. (pcm)     |

## Common wahala dem

### Filename websites dey call any Intel ME string malware

Path and Intel signature na wetin go decide dis one. Microsoft System32 host no go get name like jhi_service.exe.

### ME tools dey fail afta person delete DAL

Repair di Intel ME package from di OEM. Windows component-store repair no dey bring JHI back.

## How to troubleshoot

Diagnose before you change anything wey fit scatter things.

### Repair Intel ME / DAL from di PC maker

Na dat way dem support. No copy jhi_service.exe enter System32. Dis no be Microsoft inbox file.

### Confirm di service name inside services.msc

Intel Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface Service. If di image path no dey under Intel\\...\DAL, treat am as different file.

## Check the identity of running file

A filename alone no fit establish safety. Verify the actual path, signature and product identity. (pcm)
