The Device Control console allows you to customise a number of system settings to help you better control the device.
Overview
Acer Device Control Lite is a software program developed by Acer. The most common release is 1.10.2004.120905, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 43 files and is usually about 8 MB (8,389,587 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 10. While about 79% of users of Acer Device Control Lite come from the United States, it is also popular in Brazil and Canada.
