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.

    My Gigabyte board does this too. Tries to install some bullshit I don’t want after booting into Windows. Thankfully you can disable it in the BIOS.

      disabling is best course of action. this auto install crud that’s baked-in has had vulnerabilities.
