You're a legend, thank you

I think you need to also:

sc stop asusgio2
sc stop asusgio3
sc delete asusgio2
sc delete asusgio3

EDITED: Removed the accidental addition of p in the driver names.

I think you need to also:

sc stop asusgpio2
sc stop asusgpio3
sc delete asusgpio2
sc delete asusgpio3

Hi @LeadAssimilator,
I cannot confirm the existence of this service. I tested three of my ASUS devices, and none of them run with this service.
I used the following command:
Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*asus*" }

There are no services associated with asusgpio*.
However, I believe the correct driver name should be:

driverquery | findstr /i "asus"
Asusgio3     Asusgio3               Kernel

The correct name appears to be Asusgio3, not Asusgpio3.
Additionally, since this is a kernel driver rather than a Windows service, we should use pnputil instead of sc commands to manage it.
Conclusion:
Removing the registry entries and deleting the system files should be sufficient to fully clean up the GIO drivers.

@allenk Yes, sorry that was my mistake. I had retyped the names and accidentally added the p. It really should have the p in the name (gpio is what the driver does - gio isn't really a thing), but asus removed the p presumably so their driver could fit in 8.3 naming convention. The correct names are as you stated, without the p:

sc stop asusgio2
sc stop asusgio3
sc delete asusgio2
sc delete asusgio3

I disagree with the use of pnputil over sc. Using sc is perfectly fine if not preferred for managing legacy/non-pnp drivers. The above script is already using sc for managing such drivers anyway, so why change it?

Take IOMap as an example. It is a legacy/non-pnp driver that is both stopped and deleted via sc by the script. If deleting the registry entries and files was sufficient, then why is IOMap explicitly stopped and deleted via sc? The answer is because it isn't sufficient! The driver needs stopped first if it is running at the very least. Once stopped, sure you could delete it via the registry, but why do that when sc can do the job easier.

The above, corrected (sorry about that again) 4 sc commands should still be added to the script or else it will continue to fall short of actually cleaning everything up.

Hi @LeadAssimilator,

Thanks again for your feedback! I’ve reviewed your suggestions and I agree with your recommendation to include the sc stop and sc delete commands for both asusgio2 and asusgio3. I’ve now added them to the script.

sc query asusgio3

SERVICE_NAME: asusgio3
        TYPE               : 1  KERNEL_DRIVER
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

I change the sc query type from service to all and confirmed your suggestion.

In addition, I also made some updates to improve the cleanup coverage by stopping and removing a few more related ASUS services that were previously missing. This should make the cleanup process more complete and reliable.

Really appreciate your input in helping improve this tool!

Best regards,
Allen
