    Have you checked if enabling some of those functions on the key I sent, if any of them modify the enhancefeatures key?
    They don't seem to return back even in old version.

  • @XdxD The version of acer quick access installed on my notebook is 3008, see:

    Also, the enhance feature option is enabled for me, see:

    It built up itself after some time in my old version as well.

    You need to run the appx package or search for Quick Access in search bar.

    Why do you need to take ownership of it? I never did that with the new one and it works like old version for me.

    @XdxD  To access the hidden windows apps folder you have to take ownership of it to for ex uninstall some useless apps i dunno why it doesnt work just know i tried the new version loads of times and nothing appears in the start menu neither will start from the program files folder will only open from the windows apps folder but the old version works fine no issues maybe its because of the windows net framework that this version was made to thast why you are able to work with it fine youre on 1903 and im not :p

  • I'm not 100% sure, but it seems that only metal fans have the ability to spin backwards through dust defender technology.

    Can any user confirm this?

    No both stop spinning for about 30seconds to 1minute.
  • OK @ashknani55! But does the modified bios of this model have the option to disable dust defender, or really can't disable this function?
