    I have the AN515-53-52FA model, and have the same problem. I've uninstalled it, and fresh reinstall, still the same notification.

    You have to install the care center app from microsoft store, for some reason the one from the driver website isn't working

    So... I've done a lot of researching and testing myself. It turns out that the website one does work. It's just that a process called ACCStd.exe cannot start on it's own. I'm probably sure that this is due to the fact that upon reinstalling, the automatic startup entry doesn't get re-added. This can be easily fixed with a batch command and task scheduler. Also, because I don't like to use the Microsoft store that much, I did this. The only downside about this that I see so far is that when the command executes, there will be a command line that flashes. I'll find a fix to that at a later time. 

    First of all, you have to make sure that the Acer Care Center is downloaded from Acer's website, then you have to install it. After that you have to create a file with any name that you want that ends with ".cmd". [ Preferably, "ACCStd starter.cmd" ]

    Next, open the file and copy this line of command into the file start /b "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer\Care Center\ACCStd.exe" and save it. This line starts the program in a separate process and exits.

    Now, you need to open Task Scheduler and create a new schedule. You can go to https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-automated-task-using-task-scheduler-windows-10#:~:text=How%20to%20Create%20a%20Task%20on%20Windows%2010,keep...%205%20Click%20the%20OK%20button.%20See%20More. to learn how to create the schedule. Just skip to How to create an advanced task using Task Scheduler as this was made with that option.

    At triggers, make sure that it's set to at log on. You can set a delay if you wish. After that, you need to set an action. At the actions tab, create an action that starts a program and copy the path of the command to the empty box that says program. Make sure that the path is enclosed with quotes. Lastly, you need to go to the settings tab and untick the "Stop the task if it runs longer than" option. If you've filled the name of the task then congratulations, you can press ok. Else, you have to fill it up and then only press ok.

    Ok, so I know that I could have just gave a file to import, but I feel that you guys should learn how to do it for yourselves. After all, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

    I hope that this helped whoever that read this to the end. Enjoy not using UWP!!!
