The only official Acer OEM firmware and software driver updates for this model are found at this link. Any other update sources are not verifiable and used at your own risk.

That would usually be the case for OEM's that aren't insane, unfortunately, for Acer, OP is correct that WU offers 1.51 version and Acer themselves have the updates scattered across random KB articles.

1.42 https://community.acer.com/en/kb/articles/10435-meltdown-and-spectre-security-vulnerabilities for example, as opposed to the current 1.27 available on the product page for that model.

That's 24(TWENTY FOUR) versions behind the current version in WU.

1.27 is here https://www.acer.com/us-en/support/product-support/Aspire_F5-573G

1.42 is here https://community.acer.com/en/kb/articles/10435-meltdown-and-spectre-security-vulnerabilities

1.51 is what you linked which you can get from Windows Update.

Clownery, and nice job deleting my previous comment.

The question is whether there is a newer version released by Acer than 1.51 after May 31, 2019 and where to look for it because on the Acer website there is v1.27 and I mean a newer version than 1.51? what page they might still be on

The likely answer is "NO". The only updates for the F5-573G that we users can reasonably trust are at this link.

As mentioned @JackE please do not risk the security of your computer by installing files from untrustworthy places.

All the best.
