20 Asus ROG Ally Tips and Tricks for Better Battery Life, Gaming, and More
17.04.2024 - 21:19 / howtogeek.com
I’ve been enjoying my ASUS ROG Ally since launch. In that time, I’ve amassed a truckload of tricks and tips that have made using the handheld more satisfying. If you’re a new ROG Ally owner, here are some of the things I wish I knew from the start.
Optimize Windows for Your ASUS ROG Ally
After you turn on your ASUS ROG Ally for the first time and go through the setup procedure, you should optimize Windows for use with your new handheld.
Update Windows, MyASUS App, and Armoury Crate
Windows will most likely start updating automatically during the setup process, as long as you’re connected to a wireless network. All you have to do is wait for the updates to install and for your handheld PC to restart, restart, and restart again.
Once you go through the initial Windows update process, it’s time to update the two ASUS apps: MyASUS and Armoury Crate. The first is responsible for BIOS and other critical system updates, whereas the second is an all-in-one control center and game launcher you’ll most likely use all the time. I recommend keeping your Ally hooked up to a charger during the update process.
To find MyASUS updates, open the app and click the “Check Update Items” button on the home screen.
Once on the update screen, mark the updates you want to install, click the “Update Selected” button, and wait for the updates to install.
Next, open Armoury Crate. You can open the app with the physical Armoury Crate button located to the left of the "X" face button on your handheld.
Once inside Armoury Crate, navigate to the “Content” tab and click the “Update Center” button.
Next, you can update “Device and Component” items, which include BIOS and driver updates, as well as Armoury Crate updates. Wait for the “Device and Component” updates to finish (this will involve a couple of restarts) and then update all the items in the “UWP App & Core Service” tab.
Once you’re done with that, it’s time to uninstall Windows bloatware.
Uninstall Unnecessary Apps
Windows 11 comes with a ton of unnecessary apps that take up precious storage and don’t belong on a handheld PC made for gaming. I recommend checking out our in-depth guide on uninstalling Windows 11 apps to purge bloatware off your Ally.
Enable Metered Connection Option in Windows Wi-Fi Settings
Windows 11 is quite eager to install both Windows and app updates automatically. I recommend setting your default Wi-Fi connection as metered to take control of Windows and app updates. Setting your connection as metered prevents automatic Windows updates, including security updates, but it also stops automatic app and Game Pass game updates. If you don’t want to update those manually, skip this step.
Personally, I don’t mind it because I
