It’s quite normal that a Mac has some strange programs running in the background, hopping a vast number space, which makes your Mac overheat, fan spin, battery drain, etc. These strange programs even appear with no source and no clue, making users completely confused. I have learned from some posts that the “intelligentroutingd” process is related to the app Xcode, while since you have mentioned you haven’t installed this app at all, I guess something is going wrong on your machine. You can try the following methods to get this weird error fixed:
For sure, I have noticed that you tried Activity Monitor yet it didn’t work out, but I have learned that multiple force quitting helps here in terminating this “intelligentroutingd” process. If you find force quit fails to kill this process permanently, try to repeat this action, and wait and check if this program comes back.
With too many files, folders, caches, junk, and preferences accumulated on your Mac machine, your Mac certainly goes wrong in the form of a strange process or program. In such a case, you’re recommended to clean junk on your machine. Compared to the simple clean feature provided by Mac, you’d better off using a professional Mac junk cleaner – iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Mac.
The Clean Junk feature of iBoysoft DiskGeeker is designed to scan the system drive usually labeled as Macintosh HD, Macintosh HD - Data, macOS, or macOS - Data for redundant data. It can find information and files no longer needed in the system cache, user logs, application cache, downloads, etc.
Files and folders will be listed with file names, modified dates, and sizes so users can select which files should be cleaned to free up the space of the system drive, improve Mac performance, and reduce the system crash risk.
Step 1: Select a volume from the startup disk usually labeled as macOS - Data, macOS, Macintosh HD, or Macintosh HD - Data.
Step 2: Click “Clean Junk” from the toolbar.
Step 3: Select a folder from the left panel and select the files/folders you want to delete.
Step 4: Click “Clean” and then click “Ok”. You will fail to clean certain files if you don’t have permission to do so.
With all junk removed from your Mac, restart your Mac and see if this “intelligentroutingd” process pops up again.
