4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the uninstallation process, then restart your computer.
Step 3: Remove Residual Files and Registry Entries
After completing the above steps, there may still be residual files and registry entries left on your system. For a thorough cleanup, here’s how to remove these:
1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog, then type “regedit” and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASUS. Right-click on the “ASUS” folder and select “Delete” to remove it.
3. Next, navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ASUS. Similarly, right-click on the “ASUS” folder and select “Delete” to remove it.
4. Finally, go to the folder where ASUS AI Suite II was installed and manually delete any remaining files and folders related to the software.
Step 4: Reboot Your Computer
After completing the uninstallation and cleanup process, it’s a good idea to reboot your computer to ensure that all changes take effect.
By following these steps, you should be able to completely uninstall ASUS AI Suite II from your computer. However, it’s always advisable to create a backup of your system or registry before making any major changes, and proceed with caution when editing the Windows registry. If you encounter any issues during the uninstallation process, consider seeking assistance from ASUS support or a technical professional.
