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

disable the notificatios for that program. or allow the those applications in controlled folder access

I have the same problem. the windows option applications in controlled folder access is not activated. What else can you do? Confirming before executing does nothing.

Dear both, May I have some screenshots of this issue? Thank you very much.

How can I disable notifications? However I don't think it will help because the system alert will show at the moment those 2 programs are auto-started shortly after booting. That kind of alert which blocks the whole screen, not just a system notification. The task manager does show 2 autostart programs by Asus: 1. "ASUS Keyboard Hotkeys Program" 2. "MyASUS" However, there is no difference whether those are enabled or disabled! Two Windows software alerts will prompt a while after booting and the hotkeys are always working. Also, those entries in autostart don't have a path so I can not see which files they are opening. @blake_ASUS I will try to make screenshots next time I reboot.
