    Windows 11 update bricked my Acer Nitro 5 Laptop


    I just completed the latest Windows 11 update and now my Acer Nitro 5 won't boot up. I've tried the Automatic repair tool and the loading dots just spin for hours. Went into the BIOS and reset to defaults, same result Windows won't load, automatic repair won't load. Went in and attempted to boot to a KNOWN good Windows 11 installation USB. Same thing spinning loading dots for HOURS. System worked perfectly fine prior to the update. Now I've years of important documentation, family photos, etc. on a drive I can no longer access. How can I fix this so I can gain access to my files. Short of repl

    :)

  3. Stop code:0xc000021a on Acer Nitro 5 laptop

    Hi TN. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.

    Go into BIOS/UEFI Setup to see if you can set the onboard chip to default. You can power on while pressing the Acer F1 or ESC key. Older models may use F2. This may be listed on the BIOS splash screen.

    If you don't get a display for the BIOS even, then I'd reinstall the Nvidia card and properly disable it in BIOS setup before removing it this time.
