Hello, I just noticed that Polychrome silently installs some 3rd party software ("Patriot Viper M2 SSD RGB") when it first runs. When you uninstall Polychrome it does not uninstall this Patriot software, which leaves 3rd party software that could have future vulnerabilities sitting on the machine even though the user has no idea it was installed at all. Why does the Polychrome uninstaller quietly leave this bundled app on people's computers even when they've clearly uninstalled?

Oversight with the uninstaller most likely. Either just remove it separately via Windows Settings > Apps > Apps and Features or through Control Panel > Programs and Features. You can also let asrock support know about the oversight.
