How to fix ASUS Armoury Crate when it’s stuck on install

First, try restarting your PC and make sure your Internet connection is up and running. Also, when running the installer exe file, make sure to right-click on it and select Run as administrator.

2. Locate the Armoury Crate Uninstall Tool and hit the Download button.
3. Open the ZIP file and double-click on the executable file to launch the Uninstaller.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize the process and restart your PC.

To be completely sure, you can also go to the ASUS installation folder (generally in Program Files> ASUS > Armoury Crate) and delete any remaining folders and files. You can also delete previous installer exe files from your downloads folder.

Now you can go back to the ROG download page and try reinstalling ASUS Armoury Crate on your PC.
