Acronis True Image 2019 Perpetual "Blue Screen" Freeze (Stop Code CLDFIT.SYS

Thread needs solution

Several days ago I replaced my 10 year old HP PC (WIN 10) that included a working (flawlessly) copy of Acronis True Image 2016.   I decided to upgrade my license to Acronis True Image 2019 on my brand new HP Envy desktop.  Midway through my first attempted backup I got the dreaded "BSOD" with a StopCode = CLDFIT.SYS.  Since my computer worked perfectly until I installed Acronis I decided I would uninstall/reinstall the software.  When I went to enter the encryption password in the Options for my new backup, I got the dreaded BSOD again followed by a hard reboot.  Several more uninstall/reinstalls resulted in BSOD again.  I then contacted Acronis Chat Tech support who reviewed the Windows Event log, again showing no issues.  I also ran a System File Scan and DISM scan on my computer with no errors.   I uninstalled Acronis again and did not reinstall.  I used Windows 7 backup instead.   No more BSOD.   I am not a computer expert by any means, but I think their is a System file conflict caused by Acronis interacting with Windows.   Don't get me wrong,  I love Acronis True Image but this release is causing a big insurmountable issue on my Windows 10 computer.   I will try to see if I can reinstall the older Acronis 2016 release that worked fine until two days ago on basically the same Windows 10.   Also,  I made sure all Windows updates were installed.  I various HP provided system diagnostics.  No problems noted.  One other thing I did was to remove Acronis from Windows Start (it worked fine on my old machine).   Anyone have any ideas of the problem would be appreciated. 

Update: 02/03/18.  Yes.  I installed the latest build for the 2019 release.  I also installed Acronis 2016 that worked well on my old Win 10, but caused BSOD on the new machine. It could be that   There is a corrupted windows install at the factory or some new system file.  The Windows stop codes are detailed enough to tell you which driver is problematic.  I checked the version of the Cloud Mini Driver Filter (CLDFIT.SYS) and dated sept 2018 so it seemed current.  

My next step included a Microsoft tech support at which time I did a complete Windows Home 10 reinstall.  I hope this is the answer.  I will know later today.

Gregory, welcome to these public User Forums.

Yours is the first report that I have seen here in the forums for a BSOD associated with StopCode = CLDFIT.SYS  - this is a Microsoft system level device driver, not one supplied by Acronis.

A search on Google shows other users reporting similar CLDFIT.SYS BSOD issues going back to 2017, which suggests that there may be some other issues at work here!

When you installed ATI 2019, did you use the latest Update 2 build 14690 and install this from an Administrator account?
