Hi W.C.,
It's software that came standard with your Intel integrated graphics, it's a legitimate application.
You do not have to take any action. Hope that helps.

Hi!
I found out today on my windows 10 notification settings that I have notifications "on" for Igfxtray.exe.
Didn't know what that was so I looked it up and turns out most cases it's related to Intel.
But some say it could be malware of some type.
How do I make sure?
I found it on system 32 in my file explorer and it has the intel icon next to it (see screenshots) and its "digital signature" has "microsoft / intel". I assume it's safe?
