Re: Asus alert
Or do a fresh reinstallation of Windows to get rid of all the OEM bloatware, or at minimum just uninstall it all.
Please read the Forum Rules, How To Ask For Help, How to Break Your System and Don't Break Debian. Always include your full Quick System Info (QSI) with each and every new help request.
