Since i installed the armory crate i can't set the rgb to turn off after the pc goes to sleep, turns off or whatever, already have set it to off when it's working, obviously. And it keeps ignoring the bios settings as well since the armory crate is present on the pc, tried uninstalling it too but to no avail. Anyone has a fix for this?

Do you have any other RGB control software installed?

Anything from Corsair? G.Skill? CoolerMaster? etc?

Do you just have Armory Crate, or do you have like.... Aura Sync installed as well? Because those will conflict with one another.

Its garbage, for sure. If you go here, click Show All, there is an official uninstall tool.

No i don't have any other rgb software.. I deleted all files from local disk and hidden ones, it seems to do the trick, it's off now no matter what, but there's one program that doesn't want to be uninstalled and it's ''Asus motherboard''? Pretty sure that wasn't there before. I mean i don't want to sound dumb but i think its a part of armory crate installation because it installed 10 other useless programs as well as a part of it's installation.

Yes, absolutely. I finally couldn't stand it anymore trying to close ASUS processes that I put black electrical tape over my GPU's only RGB element and uninstalling the whole thing.

all the RGB software stuff sucks. Its laggy, lowers your performance, is full of telemetry and is vulnerable to malicious attacks. 
its basically unusable, you are better of doing dedicated RGB LED stuff into your PC with much higher quality lights and effects without the need of any of that stupid software, just a remote LUL.

 

Its not rocket science, yet manufacturers are unable to not touch your privacy and program a software that just works. Its a shame. Its scam.
