3 uninstalled processors still attempting to run.

I uninstalled an app called Armoury Crate because I did not like the app in general, I used their official uninstall tool and it seems to have uninstalled everything. However while looking at LastActivityView it found 3 .exe files named 'AcPowerNotification.exe', 'ArmourySocketServer.exe', and 'P508PowerAgent.exe'. I tried opening the file location but they don't exist at all, I also checked task manager to see if they were running but they aren't. I don't know if its a visual bug or it's trying to run with fail, but I clearly need more insight on this. What do I do?

    A system reboot should have removed any remaining entries. Hopefully, you have tried that.

    These are probably tasks in Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc). If you still have difficulty locating and removing these entries, I suggest you download Microsoft's Sysinternals Autoruns to more easily find the tasks and remove them.
