ASUS Installation Wizard: A Setup Guide
ASUS Installation Wizard
The is not a virus or bloatware—it is a legitimate, powerful utility that ensures your hardware communicates correctly with Windows. When used correctly, it saves hours of hunting for obscure drivers on the ASUS support page.
- Automatic: After Windows finishes its initial setup, a pop‑up appears: “Welcome to ASUS – Let’s get started!”. Click Start.
- Manual: Open
C:\ASUS\ASUSInstallationWizard.exeor search “ASUS Installation Wizard” in the Start menu.
- Driver Loops: Older versions of the motherboard wizard would sometimes fail to detect that a driver was already installed, prompting an infinite reinstall loop.
- Network Dependency: The modern wizard (especially in Armoury Crate) requires a live internet connection. If you have just built a PC and the LAN driver is missing, you face a catch-22: the wizard needs the internet to install the LAN driver, but you cannot get on the internet without the LAN driver. Power users must keep a USB drive with the standalone driver as a backup.
- Bloatware Accusations: The router QIS wizard, while easy, often opts for "automatic" settings that prioritize stability over performance, leaving advanced features (like DFS channels or QoS) disabled unless the user manually exits the wizard.
- The wizard automatically reboots the PC at the optimal moments, saving the user from manually restarting five or six times.
