Re: My Predator 16-72 resets and loses all settings after every shutdown
Update your drivers and BIOS
Outdated system drivers or a corrupted BIOS can cause startup issues.
- Visit the official Acer support website for your
Predator 16-72
- Download and install the latest BIOS update.
- Use the Intel Driver & Support Assistant to scan your system and ensure all your drivers are up to date.
Run a system file check
Corrupted Windows system files can sometimes lead to settings not being saved properly.
- In the Windows Search bar, type and open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type the command sfc /scannow and press Enter.
- Wait for the scan to finish and report any findings.
- If it finds corrupted files, type the command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and press Enter.
- Restart your computer when complete.
Replace the CMOS battery
If none of the software solutions work, the CMOS battery on the motherboard is the most likely culprit. If your laptop is still under warranty, contact Acer support. Otherwise, this is a hardware repair that typically requires opening the laptop case.
If you are comfortable with hardware:
- Back up all your data.
- Remove the back case of the laptop to access the motherboard.
- Locate the small, round, silver CMOS battery and replace it with a new one.

You can find drivers and applications for the Acer Nitro V 16 on the official Acer support website by entering your laptop's serial number, SNID, or model number. After navigating to the "Drivers and Manuals" section, select your operating system and download the necessary files, which often come in a ZIP archive that needs to be extracted before running the setup file. For applications like NitroSense, which may be preinstalled, you can also find them on the same support page if they need to be reinstalled.
