[Solved] Acer Nitro 5: Solve EFI Shell Issue & Disable – Keep Files After System Updates

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How can I get an Acer Nitro 5 out of EFI Shell after updates, and will my files on the disks still be there?

Your files may still be on the disk, but the first thing to check is the BIOS/UEFI BOOT tab and make sure the laptop is trying to boot from the internal drive, not EFI Shell; on Acer laptops this is usually entered with Del or via the boot menu with F12 [#19231133][#19231534][#19236439] If you cannot get into BIOS because of a password, the thread suggests the practical option is to remove the drive, connect it to another computer to copy the important files, and then reinstall the system from a USB stick or use Acer recovery, which will erase data [#19236625][#19236685]

    Hello,
    I'll admit right away that I know absolutely nothing about computers. Some system updates etc have been done on my Acer Nitro 5 laptop. After turning on the laptop, this screen is shown. I don't know what to do next. Is the system still where it was and is everything that was on the disks still there? Please help me quickly!

    With even the DEL key? When the laptop starts up, it shows Press... to enter Setup/BIOS/UEFI...

    I need a password to enter the bios, but I don't know what it is. There are some generators of these passwords but I don't trust them too much.

    I have one more question, should I do this? Refreshing the system by turning the laptop on and off. Would this help me and would the laptop then turn on normally, i.e. straight to windows?

    You mean reset BIOS settings? I don't think anything here will help.
    EDIT.
    Did you have a BIOS password already set up?
    Does the F12 key (boot menu call) work?
    Do you remember exactly that update that damaged your computer?
    Was it a BIOS update?

    I don't remember these updates anymore. I talked to a friend who knows a bit about this and he said that this update kicked the startup files from the system. And even refreshing the system, i.e. I wrote earlier, nothing can be done because it simply does not fire.

    Agreement. Booting the system does not work, but where did the BIOS password come from?
    I found a solution but it's hopeless.
    There are threads online with the same problem.
    One guy ripped his important files from a hard drive somewhere to another computer.
    Disk physically disconnected from the 'broken' pc and connected to another.
    After rescuing the data, he performed a 'system restore with data loss' using Acer's built-in recovery.
    So actually the so-called 'format c:'.
    The worst possible solution. Probably different,
    the only question is how much faster...

    Well, thank you anyway for the response, I close the post, and rather put a new system from the flash drive.
