Asus programs constantly asking for admin approval on login

[tomnorval86]

Hi All,

Every single time I login, I have to manually approve programs that control the Asus tech in my PC.
The following programs always ask for permission on login...

GPUFanHelper
ledcontrolservice
ledcontrolservice
ledcontrolservice
(Yes, ledcontrolservice always asks 3 times....)

I'm unsure how to fix this, if there is a way to whitelist those programs so that they stop asking me but still run with admin permissions on login without issues.

Edit: Probably worth noting I have the Fall Creators update too.
Update1: I've managed to get GPUFanHelper to stop asking by updating AI Suite III to - AI_Suite_III_3.00.13_DIP5_1.05.13. Now it's just the ledcontrolservice from Asus Aura Graphics Card that keeps asking.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah. Asus is known for its "helpful" add-ins. I own one of their laptops, so I know. The only realistic solution is to do a clean install of Win10 from the mothership: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 This will get you the latest, "clean" version (it is the OS only, no additions) of Win10. You'll have to backup your data before you do the install.

Plug the USB stick you made with the OS installer on it and then boot into the boot menu (F2 on my laptop...your mileage may vary) and answer the questions. When asked whether to do a "custom" install or a "restore" or "reset", chose "custom": you want to overwrite everything on the HDD.

Once the install is done, do this: settings->Update & Security->Windows Update->Check for updates to ensure you have all the latest mod cons. When that is all done, if you have a discreet video card, go to the manufacturer's website (ie AMD, Radeon, etc) and get their latest driver.

Finally, reinstall your applications and restore your data. Practically speaking, none of the Asus add-in stuff was necessary to the operation of your computer. Win10 will have found and loaded all of the appropriate drivers for your system (with the exception of a discreet GPU driver). Good luck!
