You noticed a strange entry on your Start menu before shutting down, showing USB driver files. It’s unusual to see executable files there, especially without knowing the source. This might indicate a security risk or an unintended installation. Consider checking your system for suspicious programs and ensuring your antivirus is up to date.

These are simply drivers. http://www.genesyslogic.com/en/product.php The subfolder notes they come from the company behind your controllers. I recommend removing them if your system installed them through a program, Windows auto-detection, or as part of a software package.

The release date is listed in the Control Panel/Programs & Features section. The system has received hardware updates that require driver installations at that time. A note was added about a potential security concern with DIFx, suggesting it might be used for crypto-mining or stock trading malware. Edited October 30, 2021 by Eighjan.

They were installed on October 27th. After resting well, I believe they were set up for the OSD Sidekick, which is for my Aorus monitor. That day I connected the USB from the monitor to my computer.

This would clarify the issue; check using a USB hub integrated... When you disconnect the power cable from the hub, does the device emit a "USB disconnected" sound?

The response is clear—no harmful code was involved. Reinserting it will trigger a 'Notification' confirming a Genesys Hub has joined the conversation.
