    Moved this over to General Software so that you can get the correct help.

    From searching, it seems to pertain to MSI X-Boost which boosts the performance of any storage or USB device connected to your system, like RAM Drive and Momentum Cache does..I think you should be able to enable or disable 'Run X-BOOST when Windows Starts' in the MSI Dragon Center..I see other users have complained about it too and just disabled it without issues.

    Uninstall any MSI utilities you have installed.
