I have a 2-month-old Acer, and I wonder why Acer try to push outdated / non - existent services with the "Acer Explorer".

I must say I find it very unprofessional.

    Acer Explorer helps you discover the programs and apps preloaded on your device, as well as special apps that you can download from the Windows Store. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up. You can uninstall this program by Selecting the Start  button, then select Settings  > Apps > Apps & features.

    No, it doesn't. As I wrote, it's old, outdated and even expired software in the app container.
