The shitty in-your-face UI turns me off too. That too remains disabled most of the time. #ASUS ARMORY CRATE UNINSTALL TOOL SOFTWARE#All I have is the Aura software to control RGB. I have an ASUS mobo and GPU and I never installed their motherboard utilities, GPUTweak, AISuite or anything. It's bloated, sucks up background resources, reduces your gaming (Especially VR) performance, and is a nightmare to try to uninstall and keep uninstalled! Terrible stuff.ĪSUS packages their software is a shitty way. After you disable it there - then it's finally good. #ASUS ARMORY CRATE UNINSTALL TOOL INSTALL#I found then you have to go into the BIOS settings, and in there is an "Install Armoury Crate" option that will automatically keep trying to install it if it isn't on the system. I couldn't figure out how it was launching the installer since i deleted everything I could find related to armoury crate. Finally it's gone.īut not quite!!! Next, after you have uninstalled all the junk from your system - when you reboot, it tries to install itself again. There's a ton of additional software (still installed apparently) that tries to autolaunch. So the next thing you have to do is go to the windows scheduler (Type "Task Scheduler" into the start menu search bar), and find the Asus folder in there. #ASUS ARMORY CRATE UNINSTALL TOOL PC#However, every time I rebooted the PC there was still an asus program trying to launch but popping up an error because the armoury crate services were uninstalled. After rebooting - most of the background services were actually removed. So I then found an armoury crate uninstaller tool on the ASUS website and ran that. However, after running the uninstaller and rebooting - all the ASUS background services were still running on my PC! I.e., the uninstaller only gave the semblance of uninstalling armoury crate but left all the devious background stuff running without you knowing! I then just said screw it, and ran the uninstaller and uninstalled armoury crate. However, if you kill these background tasks - they just launch themselves again soon after, so you can't reliably get rid of them that way since they keep coming back. That way i can have the RGB running when doing simple tasks, and kill everything just before playing games using a script. Here's the crazy amount of steps I had to do to uninstall this garbage software:Īt first I tried to write a script to just kill all these tasks if I'm about to run VR or play games. ![]() While trying to remove it, I found about 12 services installed by ASUS also constantly running in the background (you can check them out in the task manager/services). I noticed that the Aura lighting service was taking up a huge amount of CPU constantly in the background, causing random Glitches and framedrops in my VR headset, and causing significantly reduced benchmark scores for my CPU and Graphics card. I initially installed it for the RGB control since I have a lot of RGB on my components and it looked nice. I thought I'd give a warning to anyone else using an ASUS motherboard that may have installed armoury crate, or thinks they want to do so. ![]()
