I made the mistake of doing this update ... since Fan Xpert 4 no longer works, the page loads indefinitely

To anyone in a situation where the asuscertservice is broken you may have to reinstall windows. But, I have seen before where it can be gotten working again. I would try a procedure like this:

Uninstall all asus utilities. Configure PC for a clean boot. You can probably google up instructions on that or ask here and I can add something later.
Now reboot to your clean boot. Run the Armoury Crate uninstall tool and reboot. Put the PC back in normal starup config. Try installing either Armoury Crate or AI SUite 3. If install fails, just reboot and run the install again. This can be tried where AI SUite is the first to reinstall or AC is the first. May depend on your system which way is better. So the key is to reboot and relaunch the install program more than once. If the install process fails but gets farther then reboot and try again. Keep checking if asuscertservice is fixed.

Computers are just terribly complex at this point. I use the free version of macrium reflect and scheduled backup disc images. I can always recover from disaster and quickly too. It backs up to an external hard drive. It just works period. I can also browse and use the backup images. Pretty useful that.

Glad you got it working.

Everything works again for me too as I already mentioned previously but still some errors about asus in windows, even if it does not seem to bother to make AC work, tomorrow I will install my 2nd nvme SSD to make clonage , in case of future problems.

And today there was an update of some components or AC modules I made, but before I made a system backup as a precaution.

PS: I tried to edit my first post here since it's me who opened this thread, to put "solved" but it doesn't work, any idea?

2 hours and all with reinstalled (windows, drivers, office, games), 1Gb fiber make the job pretty fast

Ok thanks, were you doing something with custom image? 6 years of experience with using it and no problems worth reporting. But I just use basic functionality and default winRE for recovery drive.
