Issues with Asus Rog GameFirst ?

I have a ROG Zephyrus gaming laptop. I earlier reported that I was having issues with some thumbnails not opening or very slow to open on certain websites. I thought it was a Windows 11 or network issue. But I now believe it is an Asus Rog software called GameFirst. I downloaded this (version VI) and the problem exists. I uninstall it and the problem seems to go away. Any ideas if this is setting or is GameFirst known to have issues with Windows 11 or ?

Thanks

Hi Jeff. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

It's bloatware i would not have. The test for bloatware is if it improves performance and offers really useful functions, which no one says about this app.

Read what they say about it here:

You can uninstall it in Settings > Apps > Apps & Features.

Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the results you post back I may have other suggestions if necessary.
