SS3svc32.exe popping up on startup?

Hi all! So, for the past few days when I start my laptop the file SS3svc32.exe keeps popping up and trying to make changes. It pops up twice (I click no both times) and then stays away until next startup. I looked at the file location and it's with a program 'Sonic Suite 3' which I don't remember downloading and when I went to Apps in Windows Settings neither are listed. Is there a way for me to remove it? Thanks!

PS. I have Windows 10

Wow, 8 pages of this.  

Did anyone ever think to go to the manufacturer of the motherboard and see if they have an updated audio driver?  Maybe one that fixes the problem instead of trying to find some wacky work around?  

I ask because I found this after deciding I had enough of that damned popup:

Now, I am no computer guru or anything, but I figured that someone, somewhere might have an actual fix for this problem since Microsoft doesn't fix problems with other people's software causing conflicts with theirs.  That's a long known truth about them.  So instead of trying to change registry values or downloading another program that "fixes" problems just do the simple thing folks.

I found the answer for my motherboard right on their page here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-F-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/

That is *ONLY* for the Motherboard *I* have.  So don't go downloading the same one unless you have the same motherboard.  I hope this helps at least someone out there.  

Have a good day!

    1. Find the file ss3svc32.exe in explorer.
    2. Right click the file and select properties.
    3. Click the Compatibility Tab.
    4. Click the shield "change settings for all users" button.
    5. Select the bottom most box " Run this program as an administrator"
    6. Apply then ok.

    This worked for me.

    This worked for me as well, I've got version 2.  Just look for this file:  ss2svc32.exe

    I also had to change the setting for ss2uilauncher

    In this way you have only stopped the automatic start and you don't have the Sonic service... This is not a solution.!!! 

    What should I do then? What's the solution? 

    Thanks for replying :) 

    *And what's the concequenses of what I did?
