Description: Asus Optimization Startup Tool & AsusHotkeyExec.exe Windows alert at every boot-up
Model: X571
Frequency of Occurrence: Always
Reset OS: Yes

Hi there, after every reboot of Windows I am getting 2 alerts about programs making changes to my computer: #1: ASUS Optimization Startup Task #2: AsusHotkeyExec.exe It seems that it does not even matter if I click yes or no, the system and the hotkeys are working fine either way. But how do I get rid of those two alerts every time? Using Windows 10 Pro, fresh clean install with all updates and latest drivers from asus.com

Hello jasonleebell,
Please kindly use 7-zip or WinRAR to extract the file then install them again.
We found that if you use built-in extract tool, this issue would occur,.
We are working on long term solution now.
Thank you.

I also have this problem how can I fix it

[jasonleeabell]

Do I need to uninstall the drivers beforehand? and do I need to do this with all the drivers?

[jasonleeabell]

I uninstalled using Windows device manager and then reinstalled the drivers. It didn't change anything?

Hello @jasonleeabell ,
After you uninstalled the driver, did you reboot ? and the pop up notice still there?
Then you need to use 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract the file, run Install.bat by powershell then reboot again.
May you help to double confirm this process?
Thank you.
