    I get that icon when I install the driver from the CD but not when I install the driver from the Asus website.

    but yeah I'll post a screenie later.

    That icon comes from the Asus Probe II driver, in device manager it's listed as "AMDA00 Interface" in the System Devices section.

    Since you posted I tried again to get the website driver icon to work since it's newer than the one on the CD & I did!

    Download the driver, extract it and run the installer. The file needed is in the extracted stuff but doesn't get copied during the install for some reason.

    Look in the "Metadata" folder of the extracted driver and then copy the .devicemetadata-ms file to: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\en-US

    and bingo.

    The file name for me is: dbd4d4a2-c08c-46ea-9996-57094e1547ac.devicemetadata-ms but it might be different for your board, not sure on that one.

    For me the mouse, receiver and AverTV worked out of the box. The Dell monitor, keyboard and PC didn't. The Keyboard was weird since the receiver, mouse and keyboard are all in the same Logitech driver!
    But anyway I have mine showing now.

    All this used to work automagically so IDK WTF it doesn't now...

    EDIT: that probe II driver is really hard to uninstall if you ever want to, there's no uninstaller in Programs and Features and it installs services that are always running. I only think you need it if you're using their AI Suite software.

    Device Manager also shows 2 mice and 2 keyboards. Puzzling

    I also have that AMDA00 Interface listed.

    Those should be different devices, although 1 physical mouse.

    In Device Manager
    On my system there are 3. Properties show: Location:
    - on Logitech Gaming Virtual Mouse (HID-compliant mouse)
    - on Logitech Virtual Hid Device (HID-compliant mouse)
    - on USB Input Device (Logitech HID-compliant G500 Gaming Mouse)

    Got 5 keyboards - HID Keyboard Device

    In Devices
    4 Keyboards
    3 Mouse

    I wonder if you could extract the driver for those devices and copy the .devicemetadata-ms file to: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\en-US like I did with the Asus blue cude.

    I never installed the Probe 2 driver, so it`s not from that.

    I just did an install on an Intel ssd, changed device configuration to get realistic icons, got all the drivers directly from Asus, no windows updates and it still put just a blue cube there.

    Ran windows update fully, still a blue cube

    I did exactly what you instructed, but that metadata file is already listed there.
