How to activate Blue Light Shield in Predator?

1. Simply open Acer Quick Access and you will see the Blue Light Shield option plus other options like:

Add Programs, Files, and Folders to System Startup in Windows

How to Add Programs, Files, and Folders to System Startup in Windows

00_lead_image_startup_programs
Many programs in Windows add themselves to system startup when you install them, allowing them to automatically start up when you boot your computer. You can also have other programs automatically start and files and folders automatically open when Windows starts.
This should work in Windows 10, 8, 8.1, 7, or even Vista.
We showed you how to disable startup programs in Windows. Now, we’ll show you how to add programs, files, and folders to system startup, or the “Startup” folder, so they automatically start or open when you boot your computer.
To add a program to the “Startup” folder, we will use a shortcut from the desktop. As an example, we will add the program Sizer to system startup, since we use that often to resize Windows for screenshots.NOTE: If there is no shortcut on the desktop for the program you want to add, we will show you later in this article how to create a shortcut in the “Startup” folder.
To copy a shortcut on the desktop, right-click on the shortcut and select “Copy” from the popup menu.
01_copying_a_shortcut
Open the “Run” dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R. Type “shell:startup” (without the quotes) in the “Open” edit box and click “OK.”
02_opening_startup_folder
In the right pane of the Windows Explorer window, right-click on the empty space and select “Paste” from the popup menu.
03_pasting_shortcut
The shortcut is placed in the “Startup” directory.
04_shortcut_pasted
If the shortcut you want to add to the “Startup” directory is not available on the desktop, you can create a shortcut for the program in the directory. To create a new shortcut, right-click on an empty area in the right pane of the “Startup” directory in Windows Explorer. Select “New” from the popup menu and then select “Shortcut” from the submenu.
04a_selecting_new_shortcut
On the first screen of the “Create Shortcut” dialog box, click “Browse.”
04b_clicking_browse_for_location
On the “Browse for Files or Folders” dialog box, navigate to the directory for the program you want to add to system startup, select the “.exe” file, and click “OK.”
04c_browsing_for_file
The path to the program’s executable file is added to the “Type the location of the item:” edit box. Click “Next.”
04d_clicking_next
Enter a name for the shortcut in the “Type a name for this shortcut:” edit box and click “Finish.”
04e_clicking_finish
The next time you start up Windows the program you added to the “Startup” directory that program will automatically start.
05_sizer_in_tray
You can also add shortcuts to files and folders (using the same procedure described above) to the “Startup” directory and they will automatically open when Windows starts.
