I can feel your aggravation and disgust about this "AURA" / "Armoury Crate" load of horsesh**. I have a 2018 end of the year model ROG Strix SCAR II. ALL I WANT is the KEYBOARD, Light bar, and LOGO to work. static colors would be fine I DONT CARE about the patterns and all that other stuff. By trying to make it easier to install for noobs they have made it impossible to keep your machine running for longer that a few weeks before something monkey wrenches everything,. "making a uninstaller because you saw the need"...? how could you not know that people would need it when you write the SOFTWARE make it to where you can hit delete on the screen and it in one friggin sweep gets it all. I do put a heavy demand on my computers I/O because I dont play games as much as I move large files around. I cannot keep my external HD/SSD/ RAID connected continuously,,, the drivers have been a problem since the beginning when i had to fresh install the OS to get Pro 64bit to work correctly. I love the technology and all the bells an whistles,,,, IN THE STORE.... but if it means having to essentially redo and reinstall the entire driver and software packge because a new headphone stand that is AURA compatible came out is total bollocks. drivers should written in 1 way or the other. fully insall on their own with you having the ability to not install the things you don't want or even have on your machine. more space taken up by useless garbage that will never get used because its not native to my machine just means more BS to uninstall and the reinstall for it to sit there and not do anything except eat up HD space. The other way is a zip file, with instructions on how to add the switches to the batch file that auto-intalls the drivers based on the switches you selected in the batch file you created using their skeleton. I look in the zips, and see 40 files with 3 to 5 ".exe" files, no read me that tells you anything more that run the batch file,..... :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
If i wanted to play whose next in the installation game I would be a programmer. so that is the clue you make a uninstaller,,, when you write software that has to be manually removed to update or change it,,,, i know it did not slip thru un noticed.... the batch file could include call outs to the sub-routines that only install what you need based on the Model number and this way you would insure that the stuff you dont want and the machine will run fine without it never gets installed. that way in a month or less you wont be doing the same dance over again. Barebones batch files "new from ASUS" Only install what you need to have your machine work... WOW what a cool concept... imagine that, a machine that only had drivers installed for the hardware onboard,,,,, hmmmmm that is total crazy talk,,,,, I want 20 different HALs installed for stuff I don't and won't ever own, Also, does anyone else thing the type C connector is a POS design? I admit its nice having smaller cable ends, but not at the expense of the female socket's longevity. That connector is just CRAP CRAP CRAP, if you can use a type a Gen 2 USB3.1, why not have it that way. more robust and less likely to get ruined when your pet get snagged in it and rips the cable out of the socket,,, type A lives, type C,,, prob toast. or it will be the intermittent failure pain in the butt you deal with and there is only 1. they should phase out the type C garbage and just go with a true THUNDERBOLT III that connector is stronger and less prone to damage and failure.
anyway,,,, ASUS guys and girls that make the programs and launchers for the software, PLease think of the larger percentage of people who do not want a disco light show in the machine,,, but a backlit KB is nice an functional. make a no frills installer that keeps it simple and allows you to selt the model you have and it only installs what you have on your machine. PLEASE

I am so over this software and hardware.
When I powered my PC up today, I checked the Armoury Crate settings and found a Crate messaging for the motherboard - "This model is not currently supported."
Crate said that the ASUS HAL Central needed to be updated, it took three tries (with reboots) before it finally stuck. It then updated a couple of other components, but the motherboard is still giving the "not supported" message. How can an ASUS ROG branded product not be supported by ASUS ROG software? This is turning into a load of ****.
Here are the diagnostics logs that were requested by MasterC@ASUS.
