I am pretty sure "_wowarmhw*" and most "wow*" dll's are used with Corsair Utility Engine (CUE). That is an application from Corsair that allows you to program your keyboard's RGB features.

I am pretty sure this dll is on my computer because I took a computer class in college and downloaded Android programming software to write code. So I think this dll is probably safe.

Concerning the "wow".dlls, I have found two quotes from two different MS Community Forums-
11/19/2012 - "Don't be concerned if autoruns reports these files as not found. Just ignore it. These three files are critical to (and invisible to) 32-bit processes running on a 64-bit processor."
7/13/2017 - "... well done, you have a good understanding of your system, you are right not to delete those files, they are legitimate system files . . ."
I am not sure why they are showing up as "Unknown DLL Entry" but it sounds unwise to delete them and I'm not sure about any "fixing". My system is working fine as things are currently configured.

Since it will be removed, I'm confirmed that my opinion that there is too much wrong holds!

A search of the computer failed to find _wowarmhw.dll, and after fiding it in the registry, that entry failed to delete, so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I found these 2 names - _wowarmh.dll and _xtajit.dll in my anvir 14.07.2021, in "startup", not between living processes. I understand soon that I can't delete them from "startup" and registry. At the same time I can't find them in my comp, they just absent there.
Resume:
1. Good things have no such behavior.
2. But they may be just fragments of the tweaker's work (I have the most fresh windows-10 20H2 and I used only "TweakPower" and "WinaeroTweaker").
