To update to the latest version of Armoury Crate, reboot and the update will run in the background automatically (do not open Armoury Crate for 10-15 minutes, and plug in the power for notebooks).

Before reporting issues, please make sure you have the latest software and firmware.
Be clear about the key issue. Mark/edit posts which are no longer relevant, tracking multiple posts in several pages not only takes time but the issue becomes unclear.

When reporting a new issue, include the following info:
1. Clear description of your issue
2. PC / Laptop
3. Aura Sync products
4. 3rd-party peripheral, audio, or lighting software
5. Wired / wireless connection
6. Reinstalled Windows?
7. Windows version & build
8. Previous version of firmware or software that worked as expected
9. Any screenshots of the issue
10. Use our log collection function: Settings=>About=>App diagnostics
Please provide a log, it's much easier to provide fixes if we can replicate as accurately as possible.

NEW - When your issue has already been reported
To make reporting easier for you, if you see another member post the same issue you are experiencing:
1. Simply reply and add your name at the bottom of the post. (If someone else has already replied, then reply to that post and add your name to the list)
2. Record and generate a log.
3. Private message me and include the following:
a. The post link at the top right of your post (copy and paste the link)

b. Link to your log file stored in cloud, and screenshots if any.
c. Service version info


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Log Collection Tool - Instructions
First, check the Record log box to start recording
Agree to the disclaimer
Replicate the issue you are having
Click on the Generate log data button
Save the log file to a location of your choice.
Stop the recording

Even though the log file is encrypted, share the log file with me by PM (provide link to file in cloud).

Many issues have been posted previously, but a very small percentage of people have PM'd me their log. If in doubt, just send a log and remember to record first. If the issue is after shutdown: provide a log for before shutdown and one after (2 logs). Thanks everyone!

Gamevisual no longer cause my screen to have a yellow tint, so that's a positive opinion from me about the app. Cheers.

"many of the issues reported have also been fixed."

Thats Great! however NONE of my issues that I repeatedly reported (In the last closed thread that was 36 pages long) and asked to be fixed were even addressed!
Here is a basic description of a few:

1. PC wont enter sleep because of Armory crate (This has been the case since the M13Hero was released when I upgraded from my M9F & began using AC)
C:\Windows\system32>powercfg requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] ASUS Utility (ROOT\MEDIA\0000)
An audio stream is currently in use.

AWAYMODE:
None.

EXECUTION:
None.

PERFBOOST:
None.

ACTIVELOCKSCREEN:
None.


C:\Windows\system32>

2. AISUITEIII is STILL giving me the "The server threw an exception" error if I leave it open on my desktop for any amount of time (I assume is caused by AC since it never happened prior, however AISUITEIII has NOT been updated since MAY! Like many of the 13 heros other software, most have not been updated since JANUARY or MARCH!
I have owned many Asus motherboards and Asus has always been good about releasing regular software updates/fixes. Not so with this motherboard for some reason?

3. Addressable headers under Device tab in AC always reset back to the default "120" despite me setting them to their correct values DAILY
