Here are a few completely different methods to help fix Acer loading screen stuck:
Method 1: Disabling Secure Boot and Fast Boot
- Enter BIOS Settings: Press the key that opens the BIOS settings (usually F2, F12, Del, or Esc) when you start your laptop.
- Navigate to Advanced Settings: Look for the advanced settings or boot options section.
- Disable Secure Boot: Make sure Secure Boot is disabled. This allows you to boot from non-Microsoft operating systems and devices.
- Disable Fast Boot: Disable Fast Boot if it's enabled. This prevents your laptop from quickly booting up and sometimes prevents it from loading completely.
- Save and Exit BIOS: Save your changes and exit the BIOS settings. The laptop should now boot normally.
Method 2: Clearing the CMOS to fix Acer loading screen stuck
- Disconnect the Power and Battery: Unplug the power cord and remove the battery from your Acer laptop. If it's a laptop, you'll need to remove the battery for this to work.
- Clear the CMOS: Locate the CMOS battery on the motherboard. It's usually a small button or jumper cap. Press the button or remove the jumper cap to clear the CMOS. Please be careful not to damage any components.
- Replace the Battery and Power Cord: Put the battery back in and connect the power cord.
- Boot Your Laptop: Turn on your laptop and see if it boots normally.
