yes there is, you just need to right click the file and remove the privileges for system.

I just did this for the "AsusComService" which would take 30% of my i9 13k simply because i have dns blocking running for it.

Why can't you uninstall it?
because it comes from the motherboard and will reinstall every time i reboot. I have deleted it before, renamed it and more but nothing helped unless i revoked its privileges.

Or differently said, modern asus motherboards actively come with a rootkit.
