Asus bombards Windows 11 with christmas.exe malware-like Christmas wreath banner

The Christmas.exe in Task Manager and the Christmas theme wreath banner that covers half of your screen on Windows 11 are not malware.

I've read enough bad shit about ASUS that my new build has zero parts of theirs. This is ridiculous.

Dumb decision, but doesn't seem all that bad as far as things go. Fits in with the stupidity of Win11 overall.

What would've been cool is a taskbar icon that appears n days before christmas. When you click it, it causes snow to fall on the desktop like the old compiz effect.

I salute ASUS for doing their part in pushing back against the godless war on Christmas by forcing their users to acknowledge and celebrate the season!

Let's Make America ASUS Again!

Edit: Just realized that Asus rhymes with Haysoos (AKA The JEBUS). 5 dimensional parrises squares happening over there...

Ever since I found how to disable armoury crate with Asus builds, I disable it immediately after building the hardware and before installing the OS.

Gigabyte has their equivalent of Armoury Crate, I don't know if MSI does.

How about just never install Amoury Crate in the first place?

PS:my MB in my sig is Asus.

My current build has an Asus Prime B650M and I just assumed this was some sort of software I hadn't installed (because why would I?)

MSI does. Always have to ensure I disable it when I update a BIOS because I don't want that shit installed.

I have a Gigabyte mobo but haven't noticed anything intrusive since this build - which was in the summer.

Bad news is that with ASUS if not disabled in the BIOS prior to installing Windows Armory Crate will try to install itself. (wtf)

That plus the auto install unless you opt out in the BIOS are ridiculously ill thought out and obnoxious things!

My new case is by them but I thought that that would be fairly safe from shovelware! They'll certainly not be my first choice of MB anymore.

AFAIK don't they all do that? That's the point of the "feature".

Not 100% sure about the other companies just ASUS.
