Each manufacturer of computers, mobile devices (smartphones / tablets) is trying in every way to stand out among users, so that the products they produce are recognizable even for those who are not their happy owners. This “unusualness” is achieved by adding various “chips” – non-standard design elements, interface shell , as well as specialized software, which is designed to offer the user a unique product that meets the needs of each client (present or potential). And about one such “chip” called “Asus Giftbox” and will be discussed in this article.
Purpose of the program Asus Giftbox.
What is this program
So, the main subject of the theme is the pre-installed software for laptop users from the Asus brand called “Giftbox”, which is not widely popular, but is worth paying attention, especially those users who are active customers of internal stores from Microsoft … At its core, the software in question is a banal analogue of the standard Microsoft Store, but made in stylish brand colors from Asus. The application offers the same functionality, but with a slightly smaller catalog of games and applications available for download (both paid and free).
Considering the capabilities of the modern Windows 10 operating system, such “replacement applications” have already lost their relevance, since the “Microsoft Store” offers much more interesting functionality (and interface), but also an incomparably larger catalog. The only exceptions are those users of Asus notebooks who continue to actively use the Windows 7 operating system, where this store has not received proper support from the developers. Therefore, taking into account all of the above, several conclusions can be drawn:
- “Asus Giftbox” is absolutely legal software that is not a virus and comes as pre-installed tools for devices from a well-known company.
- The program is almost identical to the Microsoft Store, but with a smaller catalog.
- The expediency of its use is somewhat less justified than the more eminent store from Microsoft.
- You can also purchase the application additionally (absolutely free) at the following link – https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/p/asusgiftbox/9wzdncrdrb6s?rtc=1&activetab=pivot:overviewtab .
- Giftbox doesn’t take up much free space.
- Doesn’t consume computer resources with excessive appetite.
- Doesn’t work with growing load in the background .
In general, as mentioned earlier, this is a really worthwhile option, especially if it is considered as a replacement for the “Microsoft Store”.
Conclusion
The last thing worth noting is the removal of this utility . This process is standard:
- Click “Start” and sort the list of installed software alphabetically.
- Select the letter “C” and open the folder “System Windows” – “Control Panel”.
- Open the “Programs” section and select “Remove Programs”.
- Sort the list by manufacturer.
- Select “Asus Giftbox” with a mouse click and press the “Delete” button.
All that remains is to wait for the software to be uninstalled and restart the computer.
