For example the software may have less features. Although this operation will not remove or modify the files and installed programs, I suggest always that you back up important. Go to the installation folder of ASUS Live Update. I usually "hide" hardware updates, as the OEM drivers for most components are usually better, unless some sort of bug has been identified that Window's update may fix. Method 2: Uninstall ASUS Live Update with its uninstaller.exe. HOWEVER! I would personally NOT allow Windows to update my computer's hardware unless you know for a fact it is needed. That way you can keep Windows Update configured to allow recommended updates too. Boom, next boot, the laptop stops asking for permission and automatically runs the file. Simply select Change Settings for All Users Then right of the bottom of that box, select Run this program as an administrator. Then you can manually visit the Asus Driver/Software page for you model notebook, and check for updates yourself (if you think you need them.) Download them and install them. Right click on the Asus Optimisation process and select Properties Hit the General tab and go to the Compatibility tab. Because of that, MOST people will recommend that you remove Asus Live update, once everything is working correctly. However that may also miss recommended updates that you want like Office or Security Essentials updates. If you want to keep using both (Windows update and Asus Live Update) then you need to configure Windows Update to only install critical updates. If you have more than one keep only one which you like and remove the others. So if you have Windows Update configured to download and install "recommended" updates (such as component updates for your notebook like the webcam) then a conflict will result. It is always recommended to keep any ONE antivirus on your computer. It is really completely separate from Windows update, which is necessary for updating and securing Windows (and Office etc.) software. You dont have to spend too much time on the Internet looking for new drivers, because ASUS Live Update will do it all for you. Having been less than happy with ASUS software I will go out on a limb and suggest you stay away from it.

I checked its details in Live Update's interface and noticed that 1) there was. Answer: Well that was interesting, I found a lot of references to it and no information on it.

Last night, Asus Live Update reported that a new 'Critical' update was available. The main feature of Asus Auto Update is to automatically update your notebook's various components. During initial set up I removed a lot of the OEM software it came pre-installed with, but I left ASUS Live Update (v3.4.3) alone, as it seemed to have a role in delivering BIOS updates.
