Unfortunately ASUS is not in question, it is the policy of Google for the updates which become more and more obligatory and which impose it on the manufacturers.

It started some time ago and will get tougher in the future, for both firmware and playstore, google even tries to make it as hard as possible to download apk that is not from the playstore.

In addition to deactivating the automatic updates, you have to go to settings, update the system, click on the cogwheel at the top right and deactivate the download.

It must be rechecked because it is possible that a later update will reactivate it

I have deactivated the update option from minute 1 day 1, even when setting up the phone I did not connect it to the wifi or even put a sim card. I completed basic settings and then added the sim card, because I was told of bad updates (wifi and hotspot not working issues) being recieved on rog5.
The update feature has been off from the start.
And NONSENSE! I have multiple android devices, pixel XL, pixel 2 XL, HTC desire, HTC rokr and various samsung S series, never has any mobile update been forcefully downloaded and installed.
True google has been forcing policies on other manufacturers, but none has ever forced a bad update on mobile like asus which completely bricks the device and needs a motherboard replacement.

The stock screen protector has this problem, I've faced it too after I bought the phone about 4 months ago. I removed the screen protector and all was good but I don't want my display to get scratches and I bought a full body protector from Gadgetshieldz which my friend recommended. I'm using it for 2 months and I don't have the fingerprint issue now.
