    1. Download the free version of Revo uninstaller and uninstalled Predator sense with it. It's important to let revo scan after uninstall because it'll find garbage files in registry that sense leaves behind and probably corrupts any new install. Let it clear those files. Delete all its files and registry using advanced mode if appers.
    2. Go to Acer's website and download PredatorSense for your laptop. (If there's different version of PredatorSense available then try them all one by one and check which one work for you)
    3. Extract folder and run Setup.exe
    4. Run Command prompt as Administrator
    5. type in the following and press enter (without the quotation marks): ".\lodctr.exe /R"
    6. Go back to the folder where you extracted PredatorSense
    7. Go into "predatorSense UMP" folder or something like this folder in which there is AAPXBUNDLE file.
    8. Run APPXBUNDLE file
    9. After that, PredatorSense immediately launched, and now it's back on my Taskbar, running every time I click on it.

    sometimes, a simple reboot clears up temporary issues. Right-click the icon and select "Run as administrator." Go to Acer's website and download PredatorSense for your laptop—this ensures you have the latest and most compatible version of the software. Uninstalling and reinstalling will also help.

    If the PredatorSense icon appears but the application doesn't open, several troubleshooting steps can be taken. First, ensure all PredatorSense-related processes are closed in Task Manager. Next, try launching the PSLauncher application from its folder by running it as administrator. If that fails, consider reinstalling PredatorSense by downloading the appropriate installer from the Acer Support website.
    Detailed Troubleshooting Steps:

    1. Close PredatorSense Processes:
      Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc).
      Go to the "Details" tab.
      Identify and end any processes related to "PredatorSense" or "PSLauncher".
    2. Launch PSLauncher as Administrator:
      Navigate to the PredatorSense installation folder (usually C:\Acer\Program Files\Acer\PredatorSense Services).
      Find the "PSLauncher.exe" file.
      Right-click on it and select "Run as administrator".
    3. Reinstall PredatorSense:
      Go to the Acer Support website for your laptop model.
      Download the latest PredatorSense installer.
      Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4. Try an Older Version (if necessary):
      If the latest version is causing issues, you might need to try an older version of PredatorSense.
      You can find older versions on the Acer Support website or by searching for "PredatorSense older version" online.
    5. Check for Compatibility Issues:
      Ensure your laptop's operating system is compatible with PredatorSense.
      Older versions of PredatorSense might not be compatible with newer Windows versions.
    6. Consider System Restore:
      If you recently made changes to your system that might be affecting PredatorSense, you can try restoring your system to a previous point in time
    7. Consult Acer Support:
      If you've tried all the above steps and PredatorSense still doesn't work, contact Acer Support for further assistance.
