To update to the latest version of Armoury Crate, reboot and the update will run in the background automatically (do not open Armoury Crate for 10-15 minutes, and plug in the power for notebooks).

Before reporting issues, please make sure you have the latest software and firmware.
Be clear about the key issue. Mark/edit posts which are no longer relevant, tracking multiple posts in several pages not only takes time but the issue becomes unclear.

When reporting a new issue, include the following info:
1. Clear description of your issue
2. PC / Laptop
3. Aura Sync products
4. 3rd-party peripheral, audio, or lighting software
5. Wired / wireless connection
6. Reinstalled Windows?
7. Windows version & build
8. Previous version of firmware or software that worked as expected
9. Any screenshots of the issue
10. Use our log collection function: Settings=>About=>App diagnostics
Please provide a log, it's much easier to provide fixes if we can replicate as accurately as possible.

3. Private message me and include the following:

I get the exact same error.

Annoying "ArmourySWAgent.exe" keeps running in the background upon startup, and also every time I open Armoury Crate.

By background I mean it's an annoying window that can be seen and alt tabbed to.

On top of that, the "Device" tab in Armoury now appears A LOT slower than before the update. From 3 seconds to about 10 seconds.

I only have one single device, ROG Strix Go 2.4 Wireless Headset (using MSI laptop if that matters).

[Psyched]

PC: G713QR
OS: Windows 10 19043.1202 20H1
Connection: Wired

Using an external monitor hooked up to USB-C/Displayport

When my display turns off (not sleep) ArmouryCrate.UserSessionHelper starts gradually increasing in memory usage and I can hear the fans ramp up.
I can reproduce this issue every time by letting the display timeout when idle or when I go into CRATE and go to the GPU Power Saver TAB and click refresh on processes. Either of these two methods will create a memory leak.
I left it over night and it ate 4 gigs of memory when I checked on it, and the system became really choppy. I had to end the task to get my performance back.

There is no issue with the process if I keep the screen active or if I put system to sleep.

I'm not sure if this was an issue prior as I just got this laptop a few days ago and think I was already updated to 4.2.5.
