@moracabanas disable asus optimization service OR download 0.75

[moracabanas]

Could I disable asus optimization sevice If I want the enabled/disabled mic overlay and functionality? I really want to end with 0% ASUS bloatware in the long term on my laptop 😄

Bro, you should be PROUD of your work. This well built asus laptops are just messed with the crappy software. And then Ghelper is just what they needs Thanks you a lot

[seerge]

@moracabanas optimization service is already added to "debloat.bat", just re-run it again. I can't (at least easily) disable it from the app, cause that requires admin permissions.

I just realized you have 2020 model, and it has different actions for F2-F4 (media keys), while rest has backlight control there.

Try this build, it should act properly even for F2-F4 GHelper.zip

[seerge]

@moracabanas and yes, if optimization service is disabled - app will take over all M1-M4 hotkeys, including mic mute

[moracabanas]

It works! Thanks you for your fast reply

ASUS optimization is not interfering but, when I disabled it, OSD is not displayed so I will keep it until GHelper comes with a native OSD for it so I can see my mic state (enabled/disabled)

[seerge]

@moracabanas but g-helper shows OSD when mic is disabled/enabled :)

Do you have Mic mute as action for M3 under extra ?

[moracabanas]

Yes, It seems I didn't restart after getting rid of ASUS optimization service I was custom-loading that crappy service at startup with a Startup Task. Then for caution, I rerun debloat.bat.

Now it is showing!

PD: I also sight-read some of your code, and I found this valuable link which fixes the lack-of-driver issue I was facing for a week when I upgrade to Windows 11. I ended up getting some random AsusControlInterfaceV3 from somewhare because I wasn't capable to find an official solution and It worked. So I notice you actually check for that driver, and I used the link to upgrade it. Thanks for that 😄👍
