Asus Zenbook: How To Disable Powerwiz Gadget From Booting Up On Startup

ASUS Zenbook

I’ve had the ASUS Zenbook for a couple months now. One of the most annoying things to me was all these gadgets that came with the laptop. They appear on the desktop. I don’t know about you, but I like my desktop free of stuff. I was able to disable every gadget except for PowerWiz.

I was looking all over the web for an answer because it’s increasingly annoying that I have to disable the gadget whenever I boot up the laptop.

Today, I found my answer. It’s so simple. All I had to was right-click on it and an option pops up with “Do not show when windows boots up.” Click on that, and I was done. I swear I right-clicked on it before.

Now the only thing left for me is to do is get used to the keyboard, which I don’t think will ever happen. It’s already been months. I’m still missing keys when I type. I think that’s the Zenbook’s biggest weakness.

    My 2-year-old and her cousin thought my laptop needed some cleaning while I stepped out to run an errand. The door to my home office was closed, but not locked. When I got back, I was told that my nephew was pouring water with a small bucket onto my less-than-a-year-old ASUS Zenbook while my daughter did the wiping with a towel. When my mom discovered what had happened, she immediately wiped as much of the water off the laptop as she could. More
