Hi all,
I recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5, running Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit (version 22H2, build 22621.819). It's TOTALLY updated, too. Last night, I downloaded the MOST RECENT version of the 'Acer Care Center', right from Acer's site. It encountered an issue, where it would load up & was still initializing. I read other posts about people having that issue, and I fixed that. However, each time I start the 'Acer Care Center' now, it automatically closes after a few seconds. I tried ALL of the fixes suggested from the 'Acer care center service is still initializing' thread (here):
https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/587667/acer-care-center-service-is-still-initializing/
From page 2 of that thread, I also tried the .vbs file (which worked), but it STILL closes after a few seconds (pre AND post-reboot). I also tried the Task Scheduler suggestion (near the bottom of page 2), and I can't get that to work, either. I'm using my Administrator account & password. Once I click OK, it prompts me with:
"Task Scheduler cannot apply your changes. The user account is unknown, the password is incorrect, or the account does not have permission to modify the task."
Has anyone found any other way(s) to get the 'Acer Care Center' running properly? I'd REALLY like to utilize the battery management features in it (i.e., leave my laptop plugged it, but NOT have the battery go past a certain charging percentage -- as I know it's bad to have it @ 100% CONSTANTLY). I COULD remove the battery, but I wouldn't want to chance it (i.e., if any power outages could cause operating system issues). Although the 'Microsoft Store' also contains 'Acer Care Center', it's limited (and doesn't have ANY battery options).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/assistance with this!
