i can answer that one, at least – yes, they do. I have a Dell gaming laptop running Win10, and it starting throwing fatal errors on bootup a few months ago.
It’s still under warranty, and Dell tech support walked me through making a Windows boot “disk” on a USB drive (using an old laptop I still have to download the files onto the USB). But, when we tried to boot from the USB, we ran into the same fatal errors.
(Turned out to be a motherboard failure, which they replaced under warranty.)
I wonder if uninstalling ALL of them would help.
Most likely you corrected the problem by uninstalling the latest round of updates. Latest Windows 10 and 11 Update Problems and How to Fix Them - Make Tech Easier
Also, on almost every new laptop there is a recovery partition that can be accessed by going into the boot menu(which of course varies by manufacturer). If it’s intact it is prudent to make a thumb drive back up of it when something bad happens (ed).
Type Recovery in the search box and follow the prompts. I would also disable automatic windows version updates to allow you time to see if the latest updates are causing issues. I would still allow the security updates and such as you do need those.
I tried the Recovery, and after it finished, I always get the message “Unable To Make Any Changes”… I wish I had a huge thumb drive, because I have over 900 gigs of information.
I wonder if uninstalling EVERY windows update would help?
Look into getting a NAS (Network Attached Storage) for your personal files examples here - nas | Newegg.com
Try rolling back as far as you can, and contact your laptops tech support or look in their forums for getting your Recovery back up and running. Worst case, you might just have to reset to factory defaults and reload everything, which will suck but it’s still better than losing everything. Then, get a usb stick 16Gb or so, and make a recovery disk.
Thanks, but I’m totally broke, which is why I mentioned this on a message board (and others)… Once this dies, I’ll have no internet access.
While you still do, check the mfr’s forum for your model and see if tech support is available, your BIOS is up to date, and try rolling back the updates.
They won’t even allow me to uninstall all the updates 
If the hard disk is physically trashed, installing Windows (or Linux) will not really fix it. You could try opening a Command Prompt and running “wmic diskdrive get status”. If it does not say “OK”, that is a bad sign.
Thanks for replying.
I got 2 OK’s… Someone else who was helping me thinks the problem could be the knocks and jolts this Acer has taken. I’ve come close to dropping it a few times, too, but it was saved because its always connected to the TV via HDMI.
This was the last message… I haven’t done anything yet, as I’m backing up any files I might be forgetting.

AGAIN may I point out there is NO RUSH and I really do advise you to read the guide carefully
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
One important point is - from the guide
Before you get started doing a repair install of Windows 10, be sure that you also temporarily disable Secure Boot in your UEFI firmware settings. Once installation has finished, you can enable Secure Boot again if you like.
Here is how for you on that Acer
Completely shut down your computer.
Power on the system. As soon as the first logo screen appears, immediately press F2 to enter the BIOS.
Use the right arrow key to select Boot.
Press the down arrow key to select Secure Boot and press Enter.
With the arrow key, highlight Disabled and press Enter.
Press the F10 key and select Yes to save the changes and exit the BIOS.
That is from the link to the guide for repair install of 10 - from this site - prepared by Brink, admin of the site
where you can if you click the link on the guide then see the guide for your Acer.
IT may be best if you go through this post and the guide link to the repair install, and download the ISO,
and then POST back on here, BEFORE you proceed beyond that step.
By that I mean do not proceed to MOUNTING the ISO and clicking setup.
IMPORTANT
NO one can guarantee you this is going to work, no one can assure you that you will not encounter problems
You have your data, you say so even if it does not work it is not complete disaster.
If you have anything stored on the computer by way of passwords for any site , etc, email or whatever that you DO NOT KNOW, in other words you have had the computer browser save them then you should ensure before you start that you have these passwords.
THIS usually works without problems. HOWEVER it depends on the state of that drive.
As you know it failed the test on Seagate, but I have known drives fail that when there have been only a very few bad sectors."
