/!\ BEWARE ASUS MOTHERBOARDS USER /!\

IMPORTANT 1 -> If you install ASUS ARMOURY CRATE to control FANs or RGB LEDs, there's a blocking processus conflicting DX2.EXE and IT'S PERSISTENT SERVICE.... SO u will never can "kill" it with this method... AND i'm Sorry but you can't run DXIW & ASUS ARMOURY CRATE together atm, i never found solution even with ASUS support, as DXIW is old and not supported anymore.

djdarko method should work for all other softwares & is best method so far !!

... voilà.

So you will probably have to uninstall ARMOURY CRATE... (use ASUS ARMOURY CRATE Uninstaller for your motherboard / Support...)

You can replace ARMOURY CRATE for FANS with : Libre Hardware Monitor. (setup CPU max fan speed to 45%)

For LED, there're LED apps for this, search on internet... (SignalRGB, etc...)

...

IMPORTANT 2 -> when i uninstalled ARMOURY CRATE last time, last month... IT NEVER WORKED ANYMORE on Windows 11 when reinstalling it... interface loading forever & bugued... after digging, contacting ASUS etc.., i RE-INIT'ed (like format..) my PC & ARMOURY CRATE worked again. (Not DXIW...)

It's a choice... it's JUST A WARNING !!

_____

i'm backupping my system with AOMEI atm.. & gonna try a last trick, surely in vain...

"asus framework.exe" is the stupid ASUS' exe blocking dx2main.exe .... (gonna rename it in .bak lol & see if ARMOURY CRATE is annoying more..)

,

i will edit eventually, but gonna run DXIW without ASUS' soft sh*ty...
