So I just built a new PC. Updated windows 10 for the first time, and rebooted. When I rebooted, a program popped up called Auto Driver Installer from Asus (which is my motherboard). I figured it came from a Microsoft update, launched it with admin rights, and it didn’t find anything. I pinned it to the taskbar, and rebooted. However, it deleted itself and I can’t find it anywhere on the computer now.

Is that normal behavior or did I just get root kitted? I have half a mind to just send it all back to newegg lol.

    Yeah currently I have armoury crate disabled in the bios. But another s* has arised. I have an hp x27q display. The omen app from the Microsoft store is beeing installed automatically. Even after tweaking registry settings, store setting,… Can’t stop the install.

    So I just granted myself access to the folder, and deleted everything I could… Now it won’t change my display settings by itself again.

      never even heard of omen app, but seems like total bloatware laced with datacollection (because… .what isn’t nowadays?)

      The enshittification of the windows platform is on full blast. :/

        I don’t remember the name, but it’s a full bloatware app, which still has some use on laptops tho.

        But for a display is a total trash app.

        It has less settings than the display, while overwriting them with whatever settings are available (the app doesn’t even have custom rgb levels…).

        With advertising for nvidia GeForce now. With settings for nvidia…(I have an amd gpu…). System management which requires special drivers… And other s*
