How to disable Acronis Scheduler 2

Thread needs solution

I'm trying to find out why my laptop under Windows 10 is freezing from time to time and therefore I want to disable tasks in the startup manager.

For Acronis (True Image Home 2016) I found 3 startup tasks and disabled them:

1. Acronis Scheduler Helper
2. Acronis TIB Mounter Monitor
3. Acronis True Image Monitor

I did a reboot and checked the taskmanager and saw that these tasks were indeed disabled.

However, after a reboot I checked the processes running I noticed that there was still an Acronis process running named: "Acronis Scheduler 2". This process does not show in the startup list and thus cannot be excluded from startup. Of course I can terminate the process but I don't want having to do that every time I reboot.

Does somebody knows what this process does and how it can be avoided to start?

BTW I don't want to run True Image on my laptop based on a schedule. I just want to initiate backups by myself on a moment I choose.

I'm with you on this one. I dispise all of these autostarts that clog up our systems. I'm user and basically use TI just like you do. I have disabled my TI startups, but with out scheduler 2 you will never run TI at all. I tried it. Its a started service which can be disabled, but then you might as well un-install the product, because it won't run.

Good luck

If you disable the Acronis Scheduler 2 service, you will not be able to run backups, either manually or on schedule, eliminating backup capabilities of Acronis. At that point, you are better off using the recovery CD to run your backups.

Just my pennyworth. If you install CCleaner, this has the option to disable Acronis Scheduler 2 - Go to Tools & then Start-up - Best Free software ever!

Thanx, I will leave it as is, althought I don't like it.
