Stopping Armoury Crate asking for admin password on login

If you're using a non-admin account on an ASUS or ROG computer, you might have been getting the Armoury Crate prompt on login asking for admin password and even if you enter the password, it will ask you again on next login

Unfortunately this is how the app is configured, luckily there's a way to silent the application beside uninstalling it

Silence Armoury Crate's: ArmourySocketServer and ArmourySwAgent

1) Login as administrator in Windows

2) Open up Task Scheduler, by searching for it in Windows Start menu
