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!

    So I just want a very simple yes/ no answer to these questions. Please. 

    I have an asus monitor. And sound studio came loaded on my machine. the same thing that others in this thread have mentioned, where it asks about running on startup has happened to me. Do I need to remove this? Is it malware?

    It's not a malware, asus should update the certification of this software

    Just to be clear: there is some malware renamed as SS3svc32.exe, which is the name of a perfectly legit safe software pre-installed by ASUS/A-Volute on ROG gaming models (laptops and desktops).

    People here are confusing the malware version of SS3svc32.exe with the safe version.

    We're discussing the safe version of SS3svc32.exe (to enable audio enhancements) in this thread, having issue after KB4517211 and asking for UAC and higher rights when booting. Before KB4517211 this problem was not present.
