ASUS DriverHub stops the driver update flow when the page cannot detect your motherboard, the install prompt never appears, or the app keeps looping. Start with the official DriverHub path, then move to browser permissions, app repair, and ASUS fallback downloads when DriverHub still fails.
Start on the official DriverHub page
Use this first when DriverHub is installed but the page does not detect your motherboard or driver versions. DriverHub works through the ASUS web page and a local Windows app, so both pieces need to connect.
Open driverhub.asus.com/en in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
Install ASUS DriverHub when the prompt appears, then return to the same DriverHub page.
Let the page detect your motherboard and driver versions, then use the update list.
Confirm support before troubleshooting deeper. Open the ASUS product page for your motherboard, go to Tech Specs, then Software Features, and confirm that ASUS DriverHub is listed. If it is not listed, use the ASUS Support Site, MyASUS, Windows Update, or manual driver installation instead.
Turn on the BIOS DriverHub prompt
If the DriverHub install prompt never appears, enable the BIOS option ASUS provides for supported motherboards.
- 1.Shut the PC down completely, hold F2, and press the Power button until BIOS opens. On some older desktop models, hold Del during startup.
- 2.Switch to Advanced Mode.
- 3.Open TOOL, then choose ASUS DriverHub.
- 4.Set Download & Install ASUS DriverHub APP to Enabled.
- 5.Save the change, start Windows, connect to the internet, and retry driverhub.asus.com/en.
Allow the browser permission DriverHub needs
When DriverHub opens in the browser but cannot reach the installed ASUS service, the browser permission is the usual blocker. On driverhub.asus.com, choose Allow when the browser asks for Apps on device.
If you blocked it earlier, open the browser's site permissions for driverhub.asus.com. Set Apps on device to Allow, then reload the DriverHub page. Some Chrome and Edge versions label the same site permission Local network access.
ASUS names Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome for this local app permission flow. Use one of those browsers when DriverHub keeps spinning or cannot launch the local service.
Restart Windows and repair the app
A normal restart clears many app-level failures after DriverHub freezes, opens once, or fails after a driver update. Click Start, open Power, and choose Restart.
If DriverHub is still broken after Windows restarts, open Start, go to Settings, choose Apps, then open Installed apps. Select ASUS DriverHub, open Advanced options, and choose Repair.
If repair does not fix it, return to the same screen and choose Reset. When Windows does not show Advanced options for DriverHub, uninstall DriverHub and reinstall it from the official DriverHub page or the BIOS install prompt.
Reinstall DriverHub cleanly
This fixes a damaged DriverHub app install.
On Windows 11, open the Windows search bar, type Installed apps, and choose Open.
Search for ASUS DriverHub under Search apps.
Select More next to ASUS DriverHub, then choose Uninstall.
On Windows 10, open the Windows search bar, type Apps & features, and choose Open.
Search for ASUS DriverHub in Search this list, select ASUS DriverHub, and choose Uninstall.
After removal, reinstall ASUS DriverHub from driverhub.asus.com/en or from the BIOS install prompt on a supported motherboard.
Install updates inside DriverHub after it opens
Once DriverHub detects your motherboard, use its own update screen instead of older Armoury Crate driver-install paths. Open ASUS DriverHub from the desktop and go to Available Updates.
Choose individual update items from the drop-down menu, or click Install All to install everything DriverHub offers. After installation, choose Restart now or Restart later.
After the restart, check System Installation History in DriverHub. That screen confirms which updates DriverHub installed successfully.
Older Armoury Crate guides point to Tools for driver updates. In Armoury Crate Ver. 6.0, Check Now sends users to the ASUS DriverHub website, and the Tools page is about to stop serving.
Use the ASUS Support Site when DriverHub keeps failing
Manual downloads are the official fallback when DriverHub loops, scans forever, or cannot detect your hardware.
- 1.Go to ASUS Download Center and enter your model name, serial number, or choose the product from the list.
- 2.Open Support, then Driver & Tools, followed by Driver & Utility or Driver and Utility.
- 3.For a motherboard, choose Motherboards under Motherboards/Components, select the product, then choose the operating system from the drop-down menu.
- 4.Click Download for the driver or utility you need. Use Show all or EXPAND ALL when the item is hidden.
- 5.If the download is compressed, right-click it, choose Extract All, then double-click the .exe installer, follow the prompts, and restart when requested. Some ASUS packages ship without setup.exe or install.exe. For those, open Device Manager, right-click the device, choose Update driver, then Browse my computer for drivers, and point it at the extracted folder.
Try MyASUS on supported PCs
The most common reason MyASUS does not replace DriverHub is model support: System Update is not available on every ASUS PC. It is also not available in Windows S mode.
Open the Windows search bar, type MyASUS, and choose Open. Go to System Update, check the items you want to update, then choose Update Selected Items.
When the updates finish, open Update history to confirm what changed.
If MyASUS is missing or incomplete, open the Windows search bar, type Device Manager, choose Open, expand System devices, and confirm ASUS System Control Interface is present. If it is missing, download ASUS System Control Interface from the ASUS support website under Software and Utility, then install MyASUS from the Microsoft Store.
When a work PC blocks DriverHub
This fixes DriverHub failures caused by locked browser permissions on managed devices.
On a company or school PC, the browser can block the local network or local app access that DriverHub needs. The Apps on device setting can also be locked by policy.
Ask your IT admin to allow https://driverhub.asus.com in the managed browser setting for local network access, then reload the DriverHub page.
For Microsoft Edge, the policy is LocalNetworkAccessAllowedForUrls under Administrative Templates, Microsoft Edge, then Network settings. For Chrome, the Chrome Enterprise policy is also LocalNetworkAccessAllowedForUrls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does ASUS DriverHub keep asking me to install it again?
DriverHub needs the browser page and the installed local app to communicate. Use Edge or Chrome, allow Apps on device for driverhub.asus.com, then repair or reinstall DriverHub if the loop continues.
Can I use Armoury Crate instead of DriverHub for motherboard drivers?
Use DriverHub for the current motherboard driver flow. Armoury Crate Ver. 6.0 uses Check Now to send users to DriverHub, and its Tools page is about to stop serving.
What should I use if my ASUS motherboard does not support DriverHub?
Use the ASUS Support Site or Download Center for your exact model. MyASUS System Update is another option on supported ASUS PCs, except in Windows S mode or on models where System Update is not available.
What if DriverHub installed a driver that caused hardware problems?
Open Device Manager, right-click the affected device, choose Uninstall device, confirm Uninstall, then install the correct ASUS driver from the model's ASUS support page.
