    Acer has already released version 1.18 for several models that have the same motherboard as the model an515-42. That is why the acer care center is making this version available for your computer, even if it is not yet officially available on your model's website.

    About the firmware driver, in my opinion, the correct thing is to actually disable it like this:

    The correct thing would be for acer to make this feature available in the bios:

    It worked!!! 

    So what I did is

    I disabled the firmware driver in Windows device manager version 1.18 was the bios

    So then I dit the trick to downgrade bios and it downgraded... I checked in device manager and there is still 1.18 but disabled and no yellow triangel or you need to restart pc... I have still the option to update drivers off from factory... 

    Is it bad to let it disabled? Like the bios? And wont Windows upgrade it again in future?

    okay ive updated to bios 1.17, and reset windows and that worked, but now when my laptop hits 75 degrees celcius cpu is clocked to 2 GHz!!!!
    i already downgraded bios but then windows says i have to restart computer because there is a update .... also the website of acer says its a bios version 1.17 but care center and the bios update app says 1.18...

    WHAT SHOULD I DO????
  • I suggest that you disable the firmware driver in the device manager and try to manually update the bios to version 1.18.

    @Robin038 Do not disable the FW driver in Windows, disable automatic update of the driver instead

    Is it safe to disable it? And can I then download 1.16 again?

    As stated I am not a windows user and I am not sure if it is safe, but when colleague @egydiocoelho said so then I guess he is right.
