[Tutorial]Remove AsusUpdateCheck "Service & .exe"

HITTI · Sep 9, 2025

Go into UEFi, disable Install Asus Utilities F10 save and exit reboot. I used F9 to search asus in uefi.

Navigate into C:\Windows\System32 and search asus.

Delete the 2 files, empty recycling bin.

Next, I could not delete the damn CheckAsusUpdate service with power shell as admin with sc delete "AsusUpdateCheck".

So I used autoruns, ran as admin, went to services tab and deleted the service from there and rebooted.

Hope this helps others, this irritated me this morning looking at event logs and finding an event log being written about AsusUpdateCheck and I did not install any asus software for my B850 board just AMD drivers.

Hope this helps others.
