How to disable acer dust defender ? predator 17 x

Answers

  • It's just a suggestion as I don't think there is really how to disable this function. Also, I found that when the notebook is running in high performance mode, dust defender should not be enabled.

    U mean power option high performance ?
  • Yes! High performance in power options as well as on the graphics card will disable the dust defender feature when the notebook is being used for gaming.

    actually nothing changes coz when i game the usage is at 99% and it still activates and im on high performance mode if what ur saying is true then its probably implemented in the bios.

    thats what it says but it doesnt really happen , when i use my laptop i use max fan mode when i play a game and reach over 3 hours the stop and do the dust defender thingy for 30seconds to a minute then they return back to normal what they say on that page is not true at all no matter what game i play it does happen everytime , I played destiny 2 , dota 2 , overwatch , rocket league , shadow of war , shadow of mordow , tomb raider , over 100 game and it happens every god ***** time.

    Try the new BIOS. It sometimes gives fixes for common issues.

    Have you tried turning it off here?

    I just found out that toggling it to 0 or 1 only affects the Dust Defender option view in Quick Access and doesn't change Dust Defender status.

    So I have just updated the bios to 1.07 , and the value in reg file is still 0 and I have deleted the dust defender folder in acer access i will test when I come back from work.

    Hope it gets solved for you. Also, toggle the registry value to 1 and disable it in Quick Access.

    OK @ashknani55! But does the modified bios of this model have the option to disable dust defender, or really can't disable this function?
    Is there a modified bios ? Never heard of it for this model 
    No there isn't and it's now allowed either according to the CUA to discuss any kind of ways to get any bios modded

    CPU: Intel Core i5-7300HQ - 63.5%

    SSD: WDC WDS200T2B0B-00YS70 2TB - 71.4%

  • Yes, it is not allowed to discuss this type of unlocking. Also, if you make any improper changes, you will turn your notebook into brick.

    And then Acer might not fix it for you or will fix for a hefty sum.
