    Hi..
     
    You may uninstall most of the application that is not related with the hardware function on your computer.
    You will have the option to restore these application from Acer recovery management.
     
    Use the following steps to reinstall a application on your computer:
    Press the Windows (Image: icon_Windows8_key.png) key to open the Start screen. Type Recovery in the search box.
    Click Acer Recovery Management in the search results.
    NOTE If asked to allow the program to make changes, click Yes.
    Click Reinstall Drivers or Applications.
    On the Contents tab, locate the application you wish to install and click the Install icon.

    You may check by uninstalling the application one by one sice you have the option to restore it from Acer recovery manager. If you come across Apps like Realtek, Atheros you do not need to delete it.

  • Hi,

    Do not delete any thing from Microsoft, Intel. Realtek, Qualcom. MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT DELETE ACER RECOVERY MANAGER.

    The acer media, ab doc, ab photo are Acer cloud storage applications, kindle is ereader application.

    If you wish to online  cloud storage, you mau uninstall these apps, if you wants to restore it in feature you may download and install from this weblink Acer cloud 

    In this same way you also remove all other apps that you do not use.

    You may also create a USB recovery media by using Acer recovery management.

    This can be use to reload the operating system, drivers and apps shipped with your computer.
