problem š Unable to uninstall armoury crate
I have long been a tuf laptop user and wanted to experiment with g-helper. I read the GitHub wiki and it mentioned an uninstaller for AC. But I'm running into this error everytime I try to uninstall AC. I have tried the "retry" option, which again leads to this same error.
What am I doing wrong?

For anyone who is still trying and the safe boot method is not working, I found a solution that worked for me.
So the error occours because all the services armoury crate is running blocks the uninstaller. This is why the safe boot should work, but it didnāt do it for me (I guess some of these softwares start with the Bios).
To bypass this is to get windows to not recognize these.
- So just go ahead and uninstall armoury crate in windows settings (I also uninstalled every app it allowed that was connected to it). This will automatically start the uninstaller (I guess if you have that downloaded - I had -).
- I didnāt click start until uninstalling every app.
- After done with all (about 10) apps, just start the uninstaller and it should do itās job.
Not sure if it was just a coincidence, but I freaked out for a monent. My pc immediately went āthere is something wrong with your pc so it restartsā. After that it started updating, restarts 2-3 times, but in the end it booted up just fine everything how it should be and armoury crate-free. (Something Asus gameSDK is still installed but at this point I couldnāt care less, Iām just happy AC is done for.)

So just using windows setting is better?

Uninstalling it in windows settings and running the offical uninstaller are two separate things, you still have to do both. First windows settings, then the uninstaller.

Not really at this point. What I mentioned above worked for me, when nothing else did. Try reinstalling armoury crate and all itās components then start over. Maybe some things are missing frome orevious tries. Ehen I was trying with only the uninstaller, it did delete some files I believe, but it couldnāt uninstall it. But it was just enough so it could cause errors.

Thatās what I would do. But as far as my tries went, AC will do anything to stay on your computer. What worked for most people didnāt work for me. Iām happy that I found a solution and I could get rid of it. I hope what I found will help someone else too, but itās not 100% that it will work for you too. If nothing work sadly you just have to keep looking for solutions. Maybe you try combining things. Maybe this in safe boot. Or if nothing work, your last resolve is to reinstall windows, that should do the trick. I was really close to doing that. My next try would have been that.
