Question Should I uninstall usb3monitor.exe after getting new motherboard?

[johnx125]

About 3 months ago I upgraded all the main components in my system (cpu, mobo, ram, gpu) after my previous and aging system died.
I didn't reinstall windows after the upgrade, I just installed all the necessary motherboard drivers and didn't have any issues, apart from my headset occasionally disconnecting and loosing audio.

However, today I was looking through the backround tasks and noticed usb3monitor.exe running and it's also set to start with windows. I know this programm was part of my previous motherboard's drivers becuase it had a VIA controller for usb 3.0.

Is it safe if I disable this programm from starting with windows or remove it completely, since the new motherboard does not have a VIA usb controller? Could it be the cause of my headset occasionally disconnecting?

It wouldn't hurt to uninstall it, but that may not be the cause of your headset issues.

I know, it could be a number of things and it's impossible to reproduce the problem too, so I'm trying to rule out all the possible culprits. The headset also happens to be connected to the USB port that's used for bios flashback. Not sure if that affects the reliability of the port (highly doubt).

The culprit is that you didn’t reinstall windows. until you do you’re going to find all kinds of problems like this, and you won’t be able to solve them
