Hi MrCranky---01,
I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.
The file "dptf_helper.exe" is part of the Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Utility Application.
I will recommend that you try to update the driver if it's available. If not, try to uninstall and reinstall it.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
