Windows 10: safely uninstall abfiles, abdocs and abphoto?

Can I safely uninstall abfiles, abdocs, abphoto, foxit phantom pdf, cyberlink photodirector, cyberlink powerdirector and cyberlink powerdvd? I never used them.*Biggrin

Received BSOD and can I do a refresh or reset on the pc?

Hello Krishna,

Thank you for responding. Here are the answers to your questions:

1. error message: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

2. Acer Aspire ES1-131-C8YK (came with Windows 10 H Build 10240

3. I Installed the following:

Mozilla Firefox 38.7.1 ESR (x86 de)

Mozilla Maintenance Service

TreeSize Free V3.4.5 JAM Software

SumatraPDF Krzysztof Kowalczyk

CCleaner Piriform

Samsung Printer Experience

Samsung Easy Printer Manager

Samsung Easy Wireless Setup

Skype™ 7.21

The Aspire ES1-131 came with the following software (which I will delete):

Acer software:

abDocs

abDocs Office AddIn

abFiles

abPhoto

Acer Care Center

Acer Explorer Agent

Acer Portal

Acer Power Management

Acer Quick Access

Acer UEIP Framework

AOP Framework

Care Center

DriverSetupUtility

Explorer Agent

4. Yes, I am able to boot the computer

Initial troubleshooting step "Blue screen error while using your computer"; i.e., "check for updates" and "remove new hardware" (only additional hardware is an ET D-09 2.4G wireless optical mouse) did not help.

Reset or Refresh? Do both Reset and Refresh need a restore point? I tried to delete as much of the system files as I could (using Disc Cleanup, Clean up system files). The laptop came with Build 10240, which I deleted.

Am I safer to do a Refresh?

Hello Chito, *Smile

Here's some more info below about these programs that come preinstalled with your Acer computer. They are safe to uninstall if you like.

Acer BYOC Apps (abApps) | abPhoto, abMusic, abFiles, abDocs

 

As mentioned earlier, the ab... files are associated with the Acer BYOC applications. If you don't use them, delete them.

Foxit Phantom PDF can be easily replaced with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for PDF reading, and with Microsoft's own Print to PDF for PDF creation.

The Cyberlink suite of apps provide functionality for your DVD/CD drives. If you don't burn CDs or DVDs, or shoot/edit video, they can be removed. However, if they are fully-functional apps, not merely 30-day trial versions, keep them. If you delete them and someday need them, you'll have to pay full price to replace them.
