HDD format BSOD due Acronis
When I try to format a HDD, (Microsoft tells me that) my PC bluescreens due to "Acronis Tib Mounter for Backup Archive Explorer. Uninstalling Acronis should resolve your issue."
Of course I don't want to uninstall Acronis. Any other advice please?
Edit: The Microsoft staffperson updated their reply to say not just uninstall, but uninstall then reinstall Acronis.
More details including my minidumps are at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/watchdogviolation-0x00000133-when-try-to-format-a/80f08c57-862b-4753-a642-c4e53dc264af?messageId=4d4703d8-501c-4216-a27b-b7a711fcde46
(Personally I don't understand minidumps even with BlueScreenView.)

Great suggestion, thank you very much, Steve!
I'll try that before un/re-installing ATIH.
Tomorrow, when the new WD Black HDD arrives (I sent back the last one--a WD Gold--thinking that it might not happen with a Blacfk).
