Yeah... I dunno. That SNID turns up nothing.

As for the registry... I don't know how you would even go about finding those entries.
I can't ever remember having to install a driver for an...

When you go to the ACER website, does it ask for your SNID number?

Well, uninstalling the driver, and letting Windows find one... may actually work.
Windows 10 and 11, are pretty good at finding drivers.


If it doesn't work, you should still be able to find...

Yeah, it's fine. :-)

That shows 32GB of RAM.
24 + 7.5 = 31.5

Because after extended use... the page file usually grows.
It's just a coincidence that it's 16GB... it can get larger than the installed RAM, also.
...

The page file is an area on your SSD/harddrive, that Windows uses when the RAM fills up.
Your page file is set to System Managed, so it will vary in size as the system's needs change.


Here... ...

That's the "paging file" they're talking about... not the RAM.



Open Task Manager, and choose: the Performance tab...
These two numbers, added together, should be the amount of RAM that's...

It looks like you need to get the driver for the slim type optical drive from ACER and install it.

As Denis said... what's hidden under the >> arrow at the right end of the tool bar?


Might be easier at this point, to just completely uninstall Firefox (and it's leftovers), then do a clean...

I came up with a similar solution back in 2013 when I got my new computer desk.
I didn't need a hose though, and didn't have midget IT techs running around. :-)

I think there's one guy with a laptop, on an island in the South Pacific, that.... likes the flyouts. :D

Exactly. We all do tweaks that we forget we did, at one time or another.
Or... like in this instance, MS or FF changes something that we never needed to tweak before.
In the case of those volume...

With all the bazillions of settings, between various programs, we all forget settings we used in the past.
Microsoft keeps changing things, as does Chrome, Firefox.... just about everyone.

It's...

Here's how to disable the volume flyout...

Enable or Disable Volume and Media Key Handling in Google Chrome

I don't stream or use any Xbox stuff, and I have just about all notifications disabled.
I removed just about all the Microsoft apps as well.

I disabled Action Center also...

You might want to try Winaero Tweaker. It's free and is just a huge collection of toggles for things in Windows 10.
Between Winaero and Settings, you can control just about anything.

Q: How many forum regulars does it take to remove a light bulb? :D

“Perhaps you and Larry will join us for the consumption of mass quantities this weekend… will we ignite our new flame pit and char some mammal flesh for you.”

Ofc, I am watching Coneheads right now. :D

It just hit me... Beldar was the father of the conehead's family. :-)

I dunno. How bout... "the EDGE of Reason". :D

If it's a lifetime license I would seriously consider it.

See my link in post #2. This deal has been floating around for about 4-5 months now.
No bad reports so far, and many have gone with Office 2021

Just my opinion, but Microsoft wants everyone on Office 365. It's their cash cow, so to speak.
If we let them get away with a subscription service program like Office 365... then they'll go wild...
