Windows 10: Windows 10 Asus Sonic Studio Quicken not working or loading

I just wanted to toss this out there in the event it could help someone else. I recently built a new computer based surrounding an Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard. I installed all the utilities and later had issues running Quicken 2014. I have a love hate relationship with Quicken but its worked good for me over the years despite some of their questionable tactics. After running thought the web to troubleshoot I made an assumption that it was a windows 10 incompatibility. So I upgraded to Quicken 2016 which is stated to be windows 10 compatible. Well I installed it and had the same issues. Doing what I should of done in the first place I started killing everything that was running. I emptied my system tray and loaded it back one item at a time until quicken started to fail. The culprit was Sonic Studio from ASUS. I uninstalled the software and have not had any issues with Quicken yet. I will continue to observe for further issues but as of yet its running fine. I'm hoping this will pop up on a google search for someone else having issues with Quicken.

Flash screen saver issues

Didn't take as long as I thought, but I found the culprit - Sonic Studio.

This was installed automatically when I installed drivers from my motherboard installation disk.

New motherboard - never had Sonic Studio before.

I noticed it wasn't running when Windows rebooted (normal). Ran it and checked screen saver settings and sure enough not working. Exited Sonic Studio and screen saver works fine.

Something else to tell Asus I guess.

Again, thanks for the help.

 

Audio Problem with 5.1 Win 10

I finally got an Upmix to work installing again the latest Asus MB drivers and using Sonic Studio to force the Upmix to Stereo Sources. Still have to test with gaming but at least now I get all the Speakers to work..
