I was experiencing an issue where two error messages would appear every time I booted into Windows 11. The specific message was, "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\AI Suite III\DIP4\AsRyzenMaster.EXE'." I tried several "solutions" I found online, but none of them worked. So, I came up with an idea and decided to navigate to the \DIP4\ folder and create a new folder named \AsRyzenMaster.EXE, which was the folder Windows couldn't locate and was causing the annoying messages. After doing that, the problem was resolved. If you're facing a similar issue with any directory, you might want to try this solution—it could work for you too.
