I got a motherboard and a USB wi-fi adapter for a new build, but the drivers on their websites force me to install the management software alongside the core drivers. Is there any way to uninstall just the manager or find just the core driver without any of the bloat?

 

My motherboard: Gigabyte Z87-UD3H with Realtek HD Audio / annoying HD Audio Manager that pops up every time I plug in a pair of headphones

Wi-fi adapter: Rosewill RNX-N150UBE with Wireless LAN Driver + Utility that I just don't want

 

Neither of these have the option in control panel to just remove the application. They're listed together, driver + software, which is making this a bit of a pain.

 

Thanks a bunch for any suggestions!

Does the manager pop up in Add/Remove programs?

 

Missed the last part of the OP.

For the realtek audio manager, go to the settings on the bottom right and you can set it to not open every time you plug some thing in.
