"Asus Installation Wizard" keeps launching from apps menu

Hi, I just got an Asus R510DP-FH11 laptop (Newegg.com - ASUS R510DP-FH11 AMD A-Series A10-5750M (2.50GHz) 8GB Memory 750GB HDD 15.6" Notebook Windows 8 (64 bit)) and, after installing a bunch of updates, got Windows 8.1.

Last night I started getting a strange issue, and I can't find anything about it on google. When I bring up the start menu, scroll down to the apps menu, and move the mouse at all, it instantly brings me to the desktop where "Asus Installation Wizard" will launch and then immediately tell me that I don't have the supported hardware (even though the Asus Live Update program tells me everything is fine and up to date). I can close it, but it just happens again and again when I visit the apps menu, and ONLY when I visit the apps menu. It doesn't happen on startup or any other time.


Nevermind what the actual program is doing, I can't seem to find out how to stop it from launching. I cannot do anything in the apps menu because of this.


Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

I would uninstall the Asus Live update! that program causes plenty of problems with our G Series NB. If you need to update drivers just go to Asus Support Download page and get the ones you want

I would also recommend uninstalling it, I did on my ASUS K75DE. You may have to use task manager to kill the process or see if you can turn it off from the notifications area so you can access the start screen.
