in comparison to images in the internet - only two options in the middle and the bar in the bottom. Without gauges, options allowing BIOS update. The screen is almost empty.
It looks like incomplete installation or I don't know how to turn on missing options.
I don't understand why this question was removed from this forum.
 
My Asus motherboard has different files available for W7, W8, and W10. Not sure if you UPGRADED and part is incompatible or what.

*Also, if you go to the motherboard support site you might have to get a W7 or W8 version for certain things. For example, there was no FAN CONTROL under the W10 support stuff (or W8) so for my Z77 board I had to go back and find the W7 file which worked fine.
 
All drivers and Ai Suite 3 were downloaded from the H81M-PLUS website with selected Windows 10 in the combobox.
I am afraid to download files for other OS and install them.
 
I think my explanation is correct:

Windows 10 support is not as complete. Perhaps they'll add more support later but they may be waiting for W10 to become more stable, though they never did fully support W8 for my motherboard.

Again, I installed the W7 Thermal Radar drivers for W8 and then again for W10 and they work fine. (All I want is fan control software)

*If you're concerned about PROBLEMS then simply create a System Restore Point immediately prior to installing the new software. If you have any issues jump back to the point you just made.

Find it at:

Settings-> "restore"-> then choose "create a restore point", then "create"
 
ASUS Probe II Sense Driver V1.0.1.0 for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 32bit & 64bit.(WHQL) was updated 2015/09/17:

Previous one zipped file size was 37.28 MBytes, this one 50.76 MBytes. So I installed this thing again, but Ai Suite 3 didn't change (after closing and opening). Maybe reboot is needed.
 
Very extensive updates came in May 2016, i.e. extended AI Suite III:
Ai Charger+
EZ Update
Network Control
Performance and Power Saving Utilities
System Information
USB 3.0 Boost

Previous one contained only:
Ai Charger+
USB 3.0 Boost

The new has so many options, that I am afraid to touch it.
 
I am afraid to touch it as last time I ran AI suite it over clocked my pc and I didn't want it overclocked, i only wanted program to control my fans but that function was very buggy, it kept turning my CPU fan off completely so I haven't installed it on Win 10 at all, and let BIOS look after fan speeds.
