ASUS NodeJS Web Framework multiple instances draining power.

So as the title states, im having issue after updating my Armoury Crate software after recent update and software keeps creating multiple instances of ASUS NodeJS Web Framework in the Task Management. Every instance is draining like 10% CPU so its taking huge chunk of my PC power. 

For example : I start PC, start my games, and after a round,i see multiple instances of ASUS NodeJS Web Frameworks created in Task Management. 

It usually stays "non-duplicated" after i quit these programs but it comes back after a while.

After round of my games,i usuallly end just hitting "End Process" button to those pesky multi-instances.


Updating didn't do nothing and problem still persists and it came after most recent patch. 

Won't be unistalling/reinstalling, because im  afraid i'll lose my AIO settings/other settings.

Is anyone else having these issues? Anybody got a fix?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem. while I play nodeJS it eats up almost 3GB of ram. I have tried several things but to no avail. I'm afraid I'll have to uninstall the service and wait for a fix from Asus...

Yeah not gonna do that. Everything was updated and issues started recently like 1-2 weeks ago so very recently.

What i can tell the issue only happens when playing Marvel Rivals. Or atleast thats where i see the problems. Hop on to game,and after a brief (5-10 minutes) spaghetticode starts hogging everything. 

Heres someone else having the issues on Reddit post : https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/1j1c9ph/asus_web_framework_skyrockets_ram_while_playing/

Hello @Kosmanen 
After the latest Armoury Crate update, I faced a similar issue. ASUS support told me it was a bug with a patch on the way. For now, what you can do is end the extra NodeJS processes until an update fixes that permanently.

This sounds like a serious resource hog! Understandably, you're hesitant to reinstall and lose your settings. Have you checked to see if ASUS has forums, support, and reports similar to yours? There may be a known bug or some very particular workaround.

Yes it is very big issue to me, because my recent favorite game starts to have random stutters due to resource hogging. 

I have looked whole internet but only found couple reddit posts and they state the same issues im having. 
And no,no fixes. Somebody said he unistalled AC 4 (effing 4 times) to get it working but others replied it didnt help them. And im not gonna do that in wishes that it would fix it.

Only temporal solution that helped for 5 minutes was to delete the processes and then it still comes back after 5-10 minutes.

only true solution is for Asus to fix their spaghetti.

I can confirm. I tried:
-uninstall and reinstall AC
-use old versions of AC 5.9.x.x
-format the PC
None of them worked. The best solution at the moment is to just uninstall "Asus Framework" but you will no longer be able to access the device configuration

Waiting for patches? How long?
