Just out of curiosity (if you do in fact have a Synaptics touchpad), exactly which G74 model # do you have? I've been trying to figure out which configurations get which hardware. So far, all I can tell is that Synaptics TPs and Intel WLANs always seem to go together, but haven't found a consistent pattern otherwise.

IMO...no. It's implicated in too many issues, from video performance to USB issues to unwanted Windows desktop theme changes, to who knows what else.
You can get all the power settings you want, including the two configurations you mention, with Windows Power Management. You won't be able to use the ROG button to switch power profiles, which is no loss. You can just as easily switch with the power icon in the taskbar.
Keep your installation clean..... 🙂

hello brody,
I've done a clean installation on my SSD, and somehow I have installed P4Gear.
So, do I uninstall it? And also where do I find Windows Power Management options?
TIA

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. The only thing I reinstalled was the ATK package, Intel LAN and WiFi drivers and the USB 3.0 drivers that come originally with the ASUS preinstalled OS.
The one thing bugging me is that turning off the trackpad doesn't seem to work using Fn + F9, any clues on that?

You installed ONLY those drivers you listed? ... (There's such a thing as TOO clean!!)
