I checked the installed programs and noticed "Intel® Management Engine Components" is present. It appears to be set up in a way that prevents uninstallation, even after restarting the PC. This behavior is typical for Windows 10 installations on Intel platforms, especially when drivers are included. It should work fine as long as you're using the correct version.
It doesn’t seem to be working as expected. You can remove it if needed. The source of the issue isn’t clear. I see you have a program icon and its version.
I'm not a big fan of IME, yet I avoid exaggerating its impact on CPU performance. It's similar to AMD's Trust Zone—it exists but isn't widely discussed. I've heard IME can be targeted by attacks, but it doesn't cause extreme slowdowns. When older firmware or drivers have problems, updates can still be applied through the driver, just like with other chipset parts.
