  • No hidden options with Ctrl-S I could find :'( I've tried the Speedfan app but it never was allowed to control the fans. Perhaps because Predator Sense was locking out access. I'mma try some others and see if Sense has some resource files with maps in them that can be tweaked. #Hackmode
  • I don't recall seeing a traditional bios boot screen - you wouldn't know what the key to enter it is do you? It's typically like F2 or F10 or DEL. I imagine with the laptop keyboard I might have to hold down the Fn key also. I won't get to try it until tomorrow though.
  • Yeah, I don't want to make it run really hot - just a bit warmer than it currently is. As I mentioned in the original post, I've had machines peak at like 99°C and average 60-70°C so this one using so much fan power to keep it at around 42°C seems a bit too much. I'd like to alter the temp-vs-fanspeed map or change some…
  • Thanks for responding. Mine's a PT315-53 that I bought in February with Windows 11 pre-installed. That link shows that the newest version was October 2021 and I know that they didn't start offering Windows 11 until late January/early February so it seems unlikely that I've got an older version of Sense. It's possible, but…
  • I already went through the requirements for eligibility - I wouldn't have been able to start the install without it being eligible. The install was very happy and went through various steps. It was at least two hours of progress before it eventually gave up with a useless error dialog. The model I've currently got is an…
  • So I think I know why I broke it. I used my (at least) 10 year old installer of EaseUs Partition Manager which doesn't know anything about UEFI (and neither did I until today). I managed to get USB boot working so I made a Recover image from my other Windows 10 machine (luckily I have one) and re-installed Windows. Booting…
  • degydiocoelho said: Ahh, OK, yes that D2D Recovery option *IS* enabled, but as I said, Alt-F10 doesn't work for me. It's exactly the same behaviour whether I press it or not. I don't know if a USB stick from Microsoft will help unless it has a UEFI file on it that I can choose.
  • I don't understand the question. How can I check if d2d is enabled in UEFI ? I have noticed that this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKOoU8GlqYo ) shows someone booting from USB on an Acer and he has boot mode set to Legacy Mode. But when I hit enter on the boot mode, it only shows me UEFI as an option. I think…
  • I had tried that, and also fn + alt + f10. Nothing happened. I pressed it about 3-times-per-second until the Acer logo appears. No effect.
