ATK ACPI
ATK ACPI is ASUS tool key of Advanced Configuration and Power Interface.
It’s the driver to make BIOS and OS communicate with each other to manage the power configuration.
On the other hand, it’s the utility to check the notebook whether is made by ASUS when the ASUS software is being installed.
