If you aren't doing Windows Updates for some reason (a very bad idea in most cases) then when Acer releases a new driver (which happens much less often than when Microsoft will publish a new driver) Acer Care Center will offer to install it for you.

Don't rely on the Care Centre, make sure that you look at the Acer Drivers & Manuals section for your A515-56G as there are many drivers that were updated in 2022 which could be out of date in your laptop, also make sure that windows update and all Intel drivers are up to date so I would install the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant and do a scan with this software and also look at the NVIDIA drivers site for the latest and the appropriate updates for your gpu, as all this will keep your A515-56G up to date and performing to its best.

but care center is easy to use so is there any way to fix this acer care center issue?

Likely you are running the latest drivers already. Acer Care Center is only going to do updates when Windows Update hasn't already gotten them.

@billsey So Windows Update are needed for laptop and we can't stop them also. Is there anyway to update drivers from Acer care center? Is there any update in acer care center?

Note that often Acer won't release new drivers that are published in Windows Update, since there's no reason to unless the changes fix a known problem... Most driver updates are security fixes and added support for new hardware, so not necessarily required.
