Asus Service Conflicts

There are several mainboards from ASUS that embed ASUS Armoury Crate in the BIOS and will keep prompting you to install it on every restart of your PC. We highly recommend you disable this “feature” in the BIOS settings.

Problem

Asus devices are flickering or displaying incorrect colors.

Solution

The Asus software might have installed services which conflict with SignalRGB. To remove them, please follow one of the below guides:

Command Prompt

Begin by opening Command Prompt. To do this, search “cmd” in the Start menu and right click on Command Prompt, selecting the “Run as Administrator” option.

Then, paste the following commands into Command Prompt:

The following commands below will only stop ASUS services, changing them from stop to start or restarting your computer will re-enable them.

net stop "asComSvc"

net stop "asus"

net stop "asusm"

net stop "AsusCertService"

net stop "AsusROGSLService"

net stop "AsusUpdateCheck"

net stop "LightingService"

The following commands below will remove the ASUS services, this cannot be undone except by reinstalling ASUS Software. For testing purposes these commands can be ignored but using them after testing is highly recommended.

sc delete "asComSvc"

sc delete "asus"

sc delete "asusm"

sc delete "AsusCertService"

sc delete "AsusROGSLService"

sc delete "AsusUpdateCheck"

sc delete "LightingService"

Script File

If you’re more comfortable just running a file, copy the below code to a file named StopAsusServices.bat and run the file as administrator. If you wish to only test this solution, we recommend removing everything after echo Removing services... otherwise you will need to reinstall ASUS Software.

For a permeant solution, using the complete script file is highly recommended.

Batchfile

@echo off

echo Stopping services...

net stop "asComSvc"

net stop "asus"

net stop "asusm"

net stop "AsusCertService"

net stop "AsusROGSLService"

net stop "AsusUpdateCheck"

net stop "LightingService"

sc delete "asComSvc"

sc delete "asus"

sc delete "asusm"

sc delete "AsusCertService"

sc delete "AsusROGSLService"

sc delete "AsusUpdateCheck"

A full power cycle may be required after performing these actions.
