asus armoury crate keeps crashing

While Armoury Crate is considered useful by many, especially the ones who need access to more customizations, others find it annoying. The reason, Asus Armoury Crate keeps crashing, both on startup and while running. A few also discovered that Armoury Crate crashed the PC.

Based on user reports, the crashes primarily occur due to low permissions, incorrect system language, missing components, software conflicts, malware infection, and a bug in the installed version of Armoury Crate.

Before you proceed to the solutions, restart the PC, install any pending updates for Armoury Crate and the OS, and update all the drivers. For most, these basic checks should do the trick!
