Any chance you can take a photo of the keyboard when you get it? Photos online show what appears to be a visually cluttered keyboard to my eyes. Primarily white laser text, with blue text on some keys - what's with that?

Blue text on some keys?

I will take a photo of the keyboard when I get it, I checked Evri track number showed my Cherry keyboard arrived at my local Evri depot on Thur 1 Dec at 3.03am, delivery expected on 2 Dec but 2 days on it still not out for delivery. Same thing with another delivery I ordered oodie blanket I found out they used Evri after gave me the track number arrived at depot on Thur 1 Dec at 22.16pm still not out for delivery. That 2 deliveries from Evri! I noticed there is a Evri thread in General Discussion, look like Evri have huge backlog of deliveries and huge shortage of staff. I dont know when I will get these 2 deliveries.

I wished they used DPD instead! I had 1 DPD parcel from wholesalesweets delivered to me on 2 Dec at 5.11pm and DHL parcel contained 13700K CPU delivered to me on Wed 30 Nov at 6.32pm. Very impressed with both DPD and DHL but not so impressed with Evri!!!

Ok so I have hit a bit of a milestone.
Since i didn't install intel ME , thunderbolt and other drivers it seems to be system clean.
However when i attempted to download the chipset driver from asus website it said it was an infection.
I researched to find out that Intel ME is a software allowing people to control the pc remotely.
Bit puzzled why these drivers cause such problem, but am seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.

I dont think you will use thunderbolt devices, maybe you can disabled thunderbolt in BIOS and use these 2 USB-C ports as normal.

Intel LAN, Wifi and bluetooth driver on ASUS website are old versions, you better download latest versions from Intel website.

I got Intel ME driver installed, you should have it installed.

Chipset driver from ASUS was infected with virus or trojan? Oh really? I downloaded and scanned with Norton 360 but it was clean.

What antivirus do you use? It was flagged as false positive.

Intel ME is not a software, it is a hardware and firmware.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine

Intel ME used modules listed:

Active Management Technology (AMT)
Intel Boot Guard
Secure Boot
Quiet System Technology (QST), formerly known as Advanced Fan Speed Control (AFSC), which provides support for acoustically-optimized fan speed control, and monitoring of temperature, voltage, current and fan speed sensors that are provided in the chipset, CPU and other devices present on the motherboard. Communication with the QST firmware subsystem is documented and available through the official software development kit (SDK)
Protected Audio Video Path
Intel Anti-Theft Technology (AT), discontinued in 2015
Serial over LAN (SOL)
Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT), a firmware-based Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Near Field Communication, a middleware for NFC readers and vendors to access NFC cards and provide secure element access, found in later MEI versions.
Software Guard Extensions (SGX)

Active Management Technology (AMT) which allowing people to control the PC remotely which was only available on business chipsets up to Q670 but it is not supported on your Z790 chipset. 11th generation CPUs and above no longer supported Software Guard Extensions (SGX).

Sort of.
While the drivers and utilities weren't installed. Have had less issues.
The antivirus now does not have 300+ protected files.
It seems those software installed a back door,
This is quite disgusting tbh.
I hope to be more knowledgable one day and help others, don't believe in using those skills for negative reasons, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
First thing i will do my a+ and then cisco if i can.
It seems ignorance is the downfall of humanity.
Thanks for your comprehensive help.
On a sidetone does anyone here cisco certified?

We all have really no idea what software you have installed. That is why I asked you to download Uninstall View to create list of apps you had installed so we need to have a look at list to find any suspiciously apps that may have backdoors you may not aware of it. Such as Teamviewer, Todesk, Anydesk, VNC, Putty, Rudesktop, TightVNC, Tinynuke etc.

If you use Chrome or Edge browser extensions, they could contain trojans and backdoors that antivirus may cant detect. Here are so many extensions like Searchblox etc contained trojans and backdoors that will hack your PC you may not aware of it.

I think I might have mistaken the text as blue in some of the customer reviews photos (can't link to competitor's site), but the below photo from one of the reviews shows what I mean:
714-RUr8-RHIL.jpg


For example, the Z, K, L and ; keys appear to have additional characters assigned to them, as shown by the characters either on the top right and/or bottom right of the key.
