    I purchased new Acer computer April 2020. System Information screen shows: "Can't collect information. Cannot access the windows instrumentation software. Windows management files may be missing or moved."

    What is wrong and how can it be fixed?

    :)

    As I noted above I obtained the following response to your suggestion to get System Information, "Can't Collect Information. Cannot access Windows Management Instrumentation Software. Windows Management
    files may be moved or missing".

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
