    So i only see a solution here seems your windows is bugged maybe an update screwed something up so the only viable option i see is to backup everything u need and acer factory reset ALT+F10 on boot fresh install

    Acer stock windows or your own usb drive windows ??? if you installed windows again via usb drive you have formatted the acer recovery partition and cant have the stock windows back ever unless you cloned it before into another drive anyway just stating
