Looks like one or more api end-points, although the service on my machine never hits the network. More strings from the DevActSvc.exe file.

But I didn't see the service in procmon/procexp hitting any files so it makes me wonder if it's working as intended. Some suggest they are updating the data privacy terms in their other services to deal with GDPR/COPPA. There have been no new outbound network connections. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. The Device Activation Service service is marked as an interactive service. So I'm not sure I was running it correctly.

The binaries have Asustek code signing certs. I've extracted the cab/binaries and fed them to VirusTotal with no hits.

I don't like that the download site isn't secure and there's no other info. The first two are old, the last "DeviceActivation." has a setup.exe dated 8 and a data folder with 409.msi dated 5. I added that and was able to download these files. idx (xml) file below, without the leading / info. Clean as is, but they could still just do bad things without using exploit I've extracted the cab/bins and run them through VT. The MSI appears to contain an ASUStek code-signing cert.
