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.

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*
