What is the KHALMNPR.EXE service? ProcessTalk

KHALMNPR.EXE is a hardware abstraction layer service. Logitech Bluetooth mouse Hardware Abstraction Layer, to be precise. A “hardware abstraction layer” is an interface that provides support for devices to connect to the computer, without modifying every application that uses the device.

Its function is basically that of a translator that acts as an intermediary between the hardware layer and the software application layer with which the user interacts. The hardware abstraction layer can be called from the operating system kernel or from a device driver. In either case, the calling program can interact with the device in a more general way with more flexibility.

The KHALMNPR process is Logitech’s mouse sensitivity monitor. When you enable Logitech’s proprietary privacy management, this process is required. This will allow you to change the sensitivity at the program level using your profile manager within SetPoint. KHALMNPR.EXE is a process installed alongside Logitech mice that enables advanced configuration and diagnostics of their range of multimedia products. KHALMNPR.EXE is a software program that may have been on your computer since the day you bought it, since this filename also comes from Logitech.
