ASPIRE A317-55P-how to fully (app & services) uninstall ACER QUICK ACCESS and ACER CARE CENTER ?

amiens80

hi,

i wish to uninstall fully ACER QUICK ACESS and ACER CARE CENTER.

By fully i mean :

• the files from program files..etc ans system32
• the services
• the processes or autorstart thing
• the error in windows event log

I went to system application and click the uninstall button for both and the apps was fine removed from the list. i restard my computer and check the windows event log, check the system services and process….😪

But, Services remains on the system ! (services.msc , task process ).

Why ? Why uninstalling this software won't remove the services too ?

I performed such actions with admin full right profile, so i don't understand why there's still someting install with this crapware/bloatware ? (i named it like that because they don't self-uninstall properly)

Best regards

Acer Quick Access and Acer Care Center are tools that enhance user convenience. Quick Access lets you manage hardware features like BlueLight Shield and USB charging easily. Care Center provides system diagnostics, driver updates, recovery tools, and performance tuning. They're useful for non-tech-savvy users, offering quick access to maintenance tasks. However, advanced users may find them redundant or resource-heavy and prefer to uninstall them for better system performance.

If you want to automate the uninstall or deep clean, use tools like Revo Uninstaller or BCUninstaller can do a more aggressive job than Windows’ built-in uninstaller.

If you have already removed it from Settings > Apps > Installed Apps, and uninstall, delete Leftover Services like AcerCAgentService, Acer Care Center, or Acer Quick Access Service can remain.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
Run: cmd
sc delete AcerCAgentService
sc delete Acer Care Center
sc delete QAAdminAgent
sc delete AcerQuickAccessService
Replace service names based on what's still listed in services.msc. You can get the exact name there.

Disable/Delete Scheduled Tasks, Acer sometimes installs scheduled tasks for updates or background monitoring. Use Task Scheduler. Press Windows + S, type Task Scheduler, and open it.
Check under: Task Scheduler Library > Acer, Task Scheduler Library > CareCenter
Right-click and Delete any remaining Acer-related tasks.

Delete Leftover Folders
Some files may remain under Program Files or ProgramData. Delete these folders if they exist:
C:\Program Files\Acer
C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer
C:\ProgramData\Acer
C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Acer
C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Acer
ProgramData is a hidden folder. You can paste the path directly into the File Explorer bar.

Registry Cleanup Optional & Advanced.Only do this if you're comfortable editing the registry.
Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
Search (Ctrl + F) for: Acer Quick Access, Acer Care Center, AcerCAgentService, QAAdminAgent
Right-click and delete relevant keys or values. Be very careful—make a backup (File > Export) of the registry before editing.

After all removals, restart to ensure services are cleared from memory and not respawned.
Open services.msc — confirm no Acer services remain. Open Task Manager > Startup tab — ensure no Acer programs are set to launch. Open Event Viewer — confirm no new logs from Acer... services.
