How do I uninstall armory crate? [RESOLVED]

[happyluckbox]

Whenever I try to uninstall from Windows I get a language prompt that is not in English. I also see other people complaining that they have to dig into windows registry in order to fully uninstall all the drivers. I don't understand why it has to be so hard to uninstall armoury crate... Does anybody have a guide?

Uninstall was fine....
But I'm trying to reinstall and the installation never ends... It went about 40% and stopped.

Released uninstaller isnt much of a help! Leaves tons of registry entrys FYI!
Re-Installing Crate introduces same issues as we´ve had for years...

Asus should hire completely new software team, or ask corsair to develop for them RGB software, because they cant do it byself without ton of bugs.

I think they should employ you honestly.

This one picture alone, has the potential to remove all anger from the whole ASUS community.

Just my humble opinion, and you should have equal pay to the CEO of Armoury Crate.

The best way to uninstall Armory Crate is to reinstall Windows. Asus's armory crate is so deeply embedded in your registry and server task's that its almost impossible to completely clean up if you intend on installing a different ARGB control that can take over your motherboard LED's.

Armory Crate is not just LED software, its also got pathways to reconfigure you BIOS from Windows. Its incredible how Asus just KEEPS making horrible buggy software. This isnt something new from them. I know everyone remembers the nightmares from all the different iterations of AI suite. A piece of software that had the ability to force update your BIOS from Windows without telling you and laying waste to your UEFI configuration.

The best advice I can give you (having used ASUS motherboards for the last 10 years) is to never use their OS software. They make the best UEFI is the business. Along with some of the most high quality custom GPU's. But there is a reason people use MSI afterburner even for their ASUS GPU.
