Why am I getting the Thunderbolt application not in use anymore error?

You should really know that, if your Thunderbolt 3 driver or utility version types are mismatched within a Windows host system, you may receive an error message stating: Application Cannot run – This Thunderbolt application is not in use anymore and can be safely uninstalled. This mainly happens when you are attempting to run the Intel Thunderbolt Software management utility or the Intel Thunderbolt Control Center utility. As you would have imagined, this prevents proper management of Thunderbolt devices on the host system. It’s also important to mention that this problem does not occur on Apple Mac systems, only on Windows-powered devices.

How can I fix the Thunderbolt application not in use anymore error?

1. Remove Thunderbold drivers from Device Manager

2. Remove Thunderbolt drivers using CMD

3. Remove Thunderbolt devices using the appwiz.cpl tool

4. Re-install latest Thunderbolt software

5. Update Windows

Does Thunderbolt support high-resolution displays?

Actually, Thunderbolt is an input/output technology introduced years ago by Apple, well-known for supporting high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices with a single port. Its main characteristics are flexibility, speed, and simplicity. This technology gives you two channels on the same connector and each channel has a data transfer speed of 10 Gb/s in both directions. Thunderbolt is one method of connecting a display to a computer, but not a very popular one. The most appreciated are HDMI, DVI, VGA, and DisplayPort. Today, most of the VGA and DVI ports were replaced with DisplayPort. HDMI is used for flat-screen TVs and smart TVs because you can connect that port to different extensions like Blu-Ray players, game consoles, computers, and much more. And while Thunderbolt 3 has adopted a new USB Type-C port, this port is not compatible with any kind of PC. We hope this guide helped you fix this annoying issue.
