ASRock’s App Shop provides the dual role of serving out ASRock’s own software and approved third party software (some of which appears to be of dubious value), but also includes a MSI Live Update-style function which scans for certain BIOS and driver versions and informs the user when a newer version is available. It’s reasonably useful for both of its provided functions and isn’t too intrusive, but does pop up the occasional notification in Windows 10.

Restart to UEFI does what it says on the tin and is handy if you’re not quite quick enough on the F2 or Delete keys.

A-Tuning, ASRock’s equivalent to ASUS AI Suite, Gigabyte EasyTune and MSI Command Centre, allows you to tune the fan speeds with the ASRock FAN-Tastic tuning, set power/performance profiles and change some relatively insignificant system voltages. It’s a reasonably well polished piece of software, is light on system resources and is not very intrusive.
