Our ultimate directory of Windows PC executables.DIFxCmd.exe is a software developed by SHENZHEN LIAN HE AN XIN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CO, LTD.
After searching online I found a Reddit thread that said this executable was related to Gigabyte OSD Software that manages Gigabyte and Aorus monitors. It appears to be related to a driver that is needed to power this Chinese monitor. One comment mentioned that perhaps it's related to a USB hub that's on this monitor, but I was unable to confirm if that was the case.
The official websites say that Gigabyte and Aorus offer monitors focused on high performance for gaming and multimedia. Aorus monitors feature QD-OLED displays that deliver excellent image quality with vibrant colors and deep blacks. These monitors are equipped with features like high refresh rates up to 360Hz and fast response times, making them ideal for competitive gaming.
Below are 4 simple steps you can take to see if the DIFxCmd.exe process is safe or malware.

A Trojan is a harmful software that pretends to be a legitimate program or file to deceive users into downloading it. It can steal personal information, damage files, or give hackers control over the infected device.

The publisher of an executable is the entity responsible for its distribution and authenticity. Most processes/executables on your PC should be signed. The signature on the executable should have been verified through a third party whose job it is to make sure the entity is who it says it is. Find an unsigned executable? You should consider scanning any completely unsigned .exe on your PC.
