ok so i have a acer aspire 7 A715-41G-R3R3 (older model with ryzen 5 3550h) after the bios update to bios 1.3 my apps like steam epic games discord gog microsoft teams etc.. are opening on their own at startup even tho in they are disabled at startup on task manager. i have tried everything to disable them in app setting (mothing changed)  reinstalling them and disabling them (again nothing as well)
does anyone know how to fix this problem or will it be fixed if i install the bios 1.1 version? it starting to irritate me to wait for them to boot up so i can shut them off

    Open Control Panel. Search 'button'. Click 'change what the power button do' in left pane. Click 'change settings that are currently unavailable' Scroll down and make sure fast startup is unchecked. Then open task manager again and disable the startup programs again.   Then follow these instructions.

    (1) Shut down Windows normally
    (2) Unplug charger. No LEDs should be lit.
    (3) Insert paper clip into reset pinhole on bottom for about a minute
    (4) Plug charger back in but wait till battery charge LED turns from steady orange to steady blue
    (5) Only after battery charge LED turns steady blue, turn laptop back on and immediately press the F2 key to enter the BIOS menu
    (6) Press F9 in the BIOS menu to load defaults. Press F10 to save defaults and exit the BIOS menu
    (7) Laptop should start Windows normally
