    Boot to BIOS with F2 and change SATA mode to RST Optane, save settings and exit BIOS To boot to WindowsRE (Troubleshoot screen) when you see the Acer logo try pressing Alt+F10.

    In addition to the above in BIOS press Ctrl+S to show the advanced options and Sata mode.

    If you cannot change SATA mode or any advanced BIOS setting, check the Intel RST driver version you have installed and what latest RST driver version is available on Acer Support for your Aspire 7 model. Check also your BIOS version. I would disable the BIOS Supervisor password that you just set as that can give major issues after a failed BIOS update, it may even brick your laptop. 😐

    My SATA is set to AHCI and no other option is available and there is no option to disable to VMD controller when I press the CTRL + S combination. When I try to access the Recovery mode, just a blue screen appears with recovery written at the top.

  • Hello! What is the exact model? Example: AN515-55-5890. What happens when you press alt+f10 before the Acer logo?

    It's A715-41G-R6S8, same blue screen appears with the text on top, no matter when I press the combination. After some time, the laptop automatically shuts
