It seems that you installed latest generic drivers rather than OEM-packed ones from Acer. Either you or the previous owner did, if you didn't buy it brand new.

That's known to sometimes cause problems like this, just to rule that out and try some other solution please verify that by installing only the Nvidia/INTEL graphics drivers from the manufacturer driver page for your specific laptop model (https://www.acer.com/ac/fi/FI/content/support-product/6739?b=1 under ''Driver'' dropdown)

Let us know if that worked first

Go to MTA installation folder and open config file with notepad (e.g C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.5\MTA\config > coreconfig.xml)

Look for this parameter: <display_windowed>0</display_windowed>

and change the value to 1, so replace with: <display_windowed>1</display_windowed>

Save it, launch MTA. 

Results?

After this, another step: rightclick on desktop and open Nvidia control panel. go to 3D settings and select something in context of ''Use powerful Nvidia/GeForce GPU) then also open Intel control panel, and find a similar option, e.g in power management or advanced tabs.

Yes, change it to 0, but then look for <display_fullscreen_style>0</display_fullscreen_style> and change that value to 2 (so it'll be        <display_fullscreen_style>2</display_fullscreen_style>

It's not optimal. What happens if you change  <display_fullscreen_style>2</display_fullscreen_style> back to 0? (in the end, you then simply removed Windowed mode that was set since the very beginning)

And yes, the selection panel keeps showing up because currently there's no way to save choice and you're using optimus. Usual.
