 ## :question: FAQ
 
-### How do I stop Armory Crate install popup appearing every time I press M4 / Rog key?
+### How do I stop the Armory Crate install popup appearing every time I press the M4 / Rog key?
 Go to BIOS (F2 on boot), open Advanced Settings and disable "Armory Control Interface". 
-If it still appears - delete or move somwhere following file ``C:\Windows\System32\ASUSACCI\ArmouryCrateKeyControl.exe``
+If it still appears - delete or move somewhere following file ``C:\Windows\System32\ASUSACCI\ArmouryCrateKeyControl.exe``
 
-### Why Ultimate GPU mode is not available on my laptop?
+### Why is Ultimate GPU mode not available on my laptop?
 Ultimate mode is supported (by hardware) only on G14 2022 (and possibly other models from 2022+)
 
 ### I can't set Eco mode (disable dGPU) on my G14 2020
 Unfortunately 2020 model doesn't support that on hardware level
 
 ### Should I apply custom PPTs and fan profiles?
-You don't have to, it's purely optional. From my experience built in (in bios) performance modes work well. Limit your power or apply custom fan curves only if you have issues. As sooon as you click Apply in fan + power section bios will be considering fan profile as "custom"! (no matter if you modified it or not)

 ### How does G-helper control my fan speeds?
 It doesn't. Your bios does (same as in case with armoury). What G-helper can do - is (optionally) set a custom fan profile to current performance mode consisting of 8 pairs of temperature + fan speed % via same endpoint armoury seem to use.

 ### I don't see a GPU temperature in G-helper
-Most probably either you are using Eco / Optimized mode and your dGPU is simply off, or your windows has put dGPU into sleep (to preserve power). In this situations G-helper won't be able to reach your GPU and get readings
+Most probably either you are using Eco / Optimized mode and your dGPU is simply off, or your windows has put the dGPU into sleep (to preserve power). In this situations G-helper won't be able to reach your GPU and get readings
+
+### It says, that app is already running
+Please check system tray for a (G) icon. By default windows is keen to hide all icons, so you may need to click ^ to see them all. I would advise to right click on Task Bar select Task Bar Settings -> Other System Tray icons -> Mark G-Helper to be always ON.
 
 ### App doesn't start / or crashes, what should I do ?
 Open "Event Viewer" from start menu, go to Windows Logs -> Application and check for recent Errors mentioning G-Helper. If you see one - please post a [new issue](https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/issues) with all details from this error.
 
+### Can I use MyASUS app along with G-Helper?
+Sure, you can! The only problem is that MyASUS may override the battery charge limit that you set before. My advice in such a situation would be to set the same limit (i.e. 80%) in both MyASUS and G-Helper.
+
 ### How do I uninstall G-helper?
 G-helper is a single exe, and it doesn't install anything in the system. To remove it - you can simply delete exe :) If you have applied any custom fan profiles or PPTs - before removing I would recommend selecting your favorite performance mode (for example balanced) and clicking "Factory defaults" under Fans + Power.

+### Dependencies & Requirements
 
-- App requires [.NET7](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download) to be installed. Most probably you already have it. Otherwise you can [download it](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download).
+- Microsoft [.NET7](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download). Most probably you already have it. Otherwise you can [download it](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-7.0.202-windows-x64-installer) from the official website.
 
-- I recommend keeping "Asus Optimization Service" running, as it keeps basic laptop hotkeys such as screen or keyboard brightness adjustment working. If you have (or had) MyASUS app installed, that service is most probably still up and running even after MyASUS uninstalls. It's part of [Asus System Control Interface](https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1047338/). You can install it, and later disable / remove unnecessary services by running [this bat file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seerge/g-helper/main/debloat.bat) as admin.
+- [Asus System Control Interface](https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/Image/CustomComponent/ASUSSystemControlInterfaceV3/ASUSSystemControlInterfaceV3.exe). If you have or had MyASUS app installed this "driver" probably still in place (even after MyASUS uninstalls). Alternatively - you can download and install it
 
-- It's not recommended to use an app in combination with Armoury Crate, cause they adjust the same settings. You can [uninstall it using it's own uninstall tool](https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/14Utilities/Armoury_Crate_Uninstall_Tool.zip?model=armoury%20crate). Just in case, you can always install it back later.
+- Optionally(!) you can disable / remove unnecessary services by running [this debloat bat file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seerge/g-helper/main/debloat.bat) as admin. To restore services - run [this bloat bat file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seerge/g-helper/main/bloat.bat) instead.
 
-Note: Doesn't need administrator privileges to run!
