    That’s in the bios, it’s a pcie device that windows allows to inject root level code into your environement

    What. The. Fuck. Are they the only one to install their crap so deep?

          I dont know the exact model, but i think it is marketed B2B specifically. It advertises its “wolf security” on boot, which according to HP “offers hardware-enforced security layers, from motherboard to cloud, to prevent and contain malware, phishing, ransomware, and remote access attacks. It also provides solutions for patching, privileged access, remote management, incident recovery, and print security.”

          So it is something that allows HP access on the BIOS level.

        ROG is Asus.

        Also I don’t think I’ve ever had this issue with my previous, nor my current rog boards. I never use their drivers CD so maybe that helps

            ROG is model line of Asus, not a secondary brand. ROG is to Asus what F-series trucks are to Ford.

            Or we could all be informed consumers and… research products before we buy them to avoid these kinds of issues.

            I’d never buy an Asus product. I hear they’re a nightmare when it comes to customer service, so in avoiding them, I avoid that problem.
