Here's some images for reference. Some of this was the result of troubleshooting and whatnot.

So essentially I can no longer access my performance settings to change between silent, performance, manual ect. I can't change the colors on my keyboard, they just stay rainbow or whatever. When I install drivers it gives me that weird message. And I contacted Asus support, they told me to install this bios update file or something, but said it might erase my entire computer. So I'm looking to get an external SSD for backup, but I want to ask you people if you have any ideas?
I've tried uninstalling and deleting all registry keys pertaining to these programs before reinstalling, that did nothing. I've restored bios, done some tricks with deleting certain files in Asus folders, Nothing worked.*

You edited the registry without a backup? That means its probably time to start over with a complete system reset/reinstall if you ask me. It took me 2 or 3 weeks to figure out how to fix a broken armoury crate. I have written about it and you can check that out in the armoury crate forum. It may not apply well to notebook computers, I have surmised that there is asus software on those I did not have to deal with. Look for thread called jimbos uninstall procedure...

Well technically I edited the registry via uninstall with Revo, but yeah I guess. I thought it was making backups, but it turns out that was disabled for whatever reason. I guess I sort of figured that if I couldn't get it to work with the large number of solutions I've attempted, I'll probably have to reinstall anyway.

Been working with windows a long time. It was in the late xp era that I learned the relief of disc image backups taken while system was live. What a joy it was. I have done same myself. I never have used Revo.
