    1. Make sure you download the latest version and install ASUS and Intel driver as well. I won't recommend one to switch tos custom ROM from original. I am suffering and missing the ZenUI.

    1. Did you follow all the step correctly? If yes, then maybe its because the usb drivers are not installed correctly, check if your device is properly connected first, type "adb devices" if you found your device then you're good to go
