Active Protection slows down LaunchBox

Thread needs solution

I use launchbox a front end software used to house a collection of all the games on my PC. In this front end it shows me a category, platform, images for each title. When Acronis Active Protection is on, it is very laggy to scroll due to the fact that Active Protection is scanning everything.

If I disable it, it goes back to normal. Anyway to exclude this, I have tried to exclude lauchbox.exe adn the directory it's installed to as well as the images folder in launchbox.

Aaron, I would recommend opening a Support ticket direct with Acronis for this issue and ask them how you are meant to stop this performance impact by having Active Protection turned on when they no longer provide the same controls that were present in ATI 2020 where you could see how many processes were being 'Managed' by AAP and use this information to set up exclusions for trusted items?

The new Protection panels in ATI 2021 are more restricted and unless anything is shown in the Protection > Settings > Advanced - Manage detected threats section, then the only recourse is to turn off these protection options!

Please submit Feedback directly to Acronis (use the tool provided in the GUI Help section) and complain about the imposition of these new protection features plus ask for your vote to be added to the Acronis internal change request: TI-213392 Allow installation without Antimalware components
