    That’s in the bios, it’s a pcie device that windows allows to inject root level code into your environement

    What. The. Fuck. Are they the only one to install their crap so deep?

        Msi tomahawk has it too.

        Gotta go in the bios and make sure your motherboard isn’t “helping” with drivers.

          I dont know the exact model, but i think it is marketed B2B specifically. It advertises its “wolf security” on boot, which according to HP “offers hardware-enforced security layers, from motherboard to cloud, to prevent and contain malware, phishing, ransomware, and remote access attacks. It also provides solutions for patching, privileged access, remote management, incident recovery, and print security.”

          So it is something that allows HP access on the BIOS level.

            If it’s b2b it sounds like elite or pro model.
            But this wolf thingie is something about securing something.
            We usually remove it and it doesnt appear new installations.

        ROG is Asus.

        Also I don’t think I’ve ever had this issue with my previous, nor my current rog boards. I never use their drivers CD so maybe that helps
