I am currently dealing with Asus AI Suite 3 trouble, and it's saying that the current model does not support the application, and it appears to have reverted to version 3842 from 3854 and now it's giving me a lot of trouble trying to install it properly. As a 3881 version BIOS update came out, and now, it's not allowing me to do so as i got both updates from the Asus site and my system won't let me update it.

I've used nothing but ASUS boards since about 2004. I would do this...

1. Uninstall ASUS AI Suite 3.
2. Go to your motherboard's website and download the 3881 BIOS
3. Also download the BIOS manual. Page 93, tells you how to flash the BIOS.

NOTE: The BIOS manual for your board is called: PRIME_PROART_TUF_GAMING_AMD_AM5_Series_BIOS_EM_WEB_EN

NOTE 2: The 3881 BIOS may break your Win 11 activation. The latest BIOS for my ASUS board did.

I could fight with Microsoft or... do this...

I just bought a new key for Win 11... $9.97

It may be leftover AIS3 files that didn't properly clean up. I would use Revo uninstaller to uninistall it if you still can. Hard to find AISuite cleanup tool:

Go to this Asus site, drivers & tools, expand the utilities and download AIsuite 3 cleaner. If you have AIS3 installed, uninstall it. Run the cleaner tool then it then try to install AIS3 again.


Too bad Asus de-supported AIS3 and replaced it with crappy bloated Armoury Crate.

I would never flash my BIOS under Windows.
- Download the bios file and rename it properly. Transfer it to a USB Fat32 drive.
- Shutdown and enter BIOS
- Under BIOS, use the quick flash option. Point to the USB Fat32 drive.
- Reboot

Is there some reason you are using Asus AI Suite 3? Your motherboard, an ASUS TUF Gaming B650-E Wifi, does not support it.

I have an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming WIFI II motherboard. It doesn't support Asus AI Suite 3 either.

The reason is that ASUS is phasing out AI Suite in favor of Armoury Crate. That is why ASUS is not interested in supporting it on newer motherboards.

I have read that Armoury Crate can sometimes be used to update the BIOS but I don't see that option on my computers. In any case I wouldn't update the BIOS from Windows anyways. I always update the BIOS while in the BIOS itself from a flash drive.

@Ghot. Which BIOS broke the Windows 11 activation. 5302 or 5401? Did you try using the Activation Troubleshooter?

BIOS 5401 18.26 MB 2026/06/25
BIOS 5302 21.16 MB 2025/10/27
BIOS 5201 21.18 MB 2025/09/17
I don't have any BIOS updates (except beta) since the one I have 3636. Hopefully, I won't have any that cause activation problems.

5201 and I guess 5301 was cumulative.
The one that updated the AMD fTPM. I assume it thought I had replaced the CPU.
I didn't know there was a 5401... that must be really new.

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
I have read that Armoury Crate can sometimes be used to update the BIOS but I don't see that option on my computers. In any case I wouldn't update the BIOS from Windows anyways. I always update the BIOS while in the BIOS itself from a flash drive.

I have a 2025 Asus Rog Strix G16,, the MyAsus app now updates bios and drivers. The Asus website is horrible and I have an account... I don't use it for anything....
