To disable the auto bitcoind setting.

Okay I have done that, now I'll watch it to see how it goes.

Why run Armory Offline if running Bitcoin-QT.exe manually?

Turn off auto bitcoind management in File -> Settings. If you can't get there, start Armory in offline mode. Then start BitcoinQt manually (let it sync) and Armory afterwards.

My Armory app was re-syncing up the Bitcoin Core DB for almost 3 days then I had to reboot the Windows 10 PC so I had to Exit the Armory app and then reboot. Now when I start Armory it minimizes to the Task Bar and will not launch the GUI when I double click on it, also it isn't loading the Bitcoin Core app. Here is what I found in the armorylog.txt file.
