and also how can i disable express gate and directly launch windows?Change enter os timer? disable express gate?
I also have an ASUS mobo with this feature.



ExpressGate is the screen that comes up before windows starts loading. It is an OS in itself which is supposed to allow you to get on the interenet really fast if you are in a hurry, but windows 7 boots fast enough in my opinion.



It is safe to reduce the timer. It simply determines how long the ExpressGate screen will stay up before it boots windows.



To disable ExpressGate, there is an option you can select in the BIOS that will keep it from show and it will boot right into windows.



I never use ExpressGate myself.Change enter os timer? disable express gate?
its easy

in that part of the bios set the time to 0,

OR

DISABLE.EXPRESS GATE, its not worth the hassle,

this splash screen is just a fancy boot menu that default on windows after x seconds, the express gate is a linux os.

asus dummies added that small ssd for purly marketing reasons.

I always disable it.
