Hello!
In March 2020, I brought an Acer Aspire 5, which runs the 64-bit version of Windows 10, to serve as my backup laptop. I used it a fair amount last year, but I had not touched it this year until a few weeks ago.
When I powered it on, it prompted me to install a long list of Windows updates, which I did. But once it finished, it could no longer detect my soundcard. I tried several recommended fixes I found online, including downloading the latest driver from Acer’s website. None of them worked, so I decided to do a full reset, removing everything, and reinstalling Windows 10 from the cloud.
However, something went wrong. Now when I power it on, it displays the Acer logo and briefly flashes a screen that reads: “Installing Windows 64% Don’t turn off your PC. This will take a while. Your PC will restart several times.” At that point, it restarts and becomes locked in an infinite loop. The only thing I can access on it is the BIOS/UEFI setting menu.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
