Armoury Crate Not Loading When Pressing the ROG Button

 


If you are using an ASUS ROG Gaming Laptop and you cannot load the Armoury Crate by pressing the ROG button on your keyboard, you must do the following to restore it.

We assume that you have the latest Armoury Crate installed on your laptop and the ASUS System Control Interface V3 is also installed. You can download the following below.


For all Asus products (Search for your individual product)

Go to Add or remove programs. You can press the Windows Key and type Add or remove programs to launch it.



Once inside the Add or remove programs, search for the Armoury Crate app.

Click the Option button (3 dots) then click Advanced options

Scroll down and look for the Reset. Click Reset button below.

After the reset, the button should work again.

This unwanted behavior could be triggered by updates on Armoury Crate which requires us to reset the application.

Unsupported Protocol (Router's Admin Page)

 


There is a chance that opening your internet router's admin page would return the error "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx uses an unsupported protocol.". This is because newer versions of our web browsers requires TLS version 1.2 as the minimum. In order to access the old router's admin page, we need to enable the old TLS version.

For Mozilla Firefox
  1. Open Firefox.
  2. In the address bar, type about:config and press Enter.
  3. In the Search field, enter tls. Find and double-click the entry for security.tls.version.min.
  4. Set the integer value to 1 to enable TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

Once the setting is saved, you can now open your router's admin page by visiting the right IP Address.



This fix also applies to third party websites that uses old version of TLS / SSL
It is not recommended to enable it permanently. Revert the settings back as soon as you finish configuring your routers.
