Since it required being able to sign the BIOS file locally after it compiled the new BIOS image, they couldn't move to the secure signing model that the capsules use, until they were shown that it could be exploited to create fake, signed BIOS files that could be distributed via malicious sites, and then they immediately deprecated Face Wizard and updated all boards to capsules immediately.Īnd again, this was NOT installed automatically by the motherboard. The reason they resisted enabling the BIOS capsules for so long was because of Face Wizard, which allowed the user to customize the BIOS boot splash screen. Wall of text much? Lol that was a bit challenging to parse. I am getting a better handle on why Asus has an Armory Crate reset tool now. The point is they all suck and if the makers cannot take the time to ensure the app works correct and are safe, then why even do it? Especially if you force feed, it thru a BIOS setting. The second link is for App Center which has to be installed first for most Gigabyte apps to function. First app is Fast Boot and issues are minor other than proper installer placement for start menu. Best example of lazy, incompetent software? If you have a X570 based Gigabyte board, download this app after installing this one. Most people just turn the shit on and expect it to work, Irregardless of whether or not the hardware maker uses lazy software developers to properly implement code. It is incumbent upon them to be sure what they provide is safe and secure for the general end user and not just the people like myself who pay attention to this shit. No hardware manufacturer should have to be examined from the outside due to the software/firmware they provide. Based on this post and others as well what I have personally experienced in Gigabyte software usage is in general something that needs to be studied more in depth.

Now they have decided to automatically install low level interaction software by default that is exposing a user account is mind blowing from a security standpoint.

They had to be prodded by an outside vendor to update BIOS due to how their own software reacted with BIOS and was possibly loading unsigned code into UEFI code/drivers. The huge issue I have is based on past and present usage of Gigabyte software. Agree 100% as Windows itself creates new accounts to perform some of the same functions as you describe.
