With Acronis Startup Recovery Manager Enabled - I'm getting a Boot Failure

Thread needs solution

Hi.  I have a Windows 10 64 bit Pro laptop with Acronis TI 2021 installed.  When I enable Startup Recovery Manager and then reboot - i get the following message:

"Boot failure: a proper digital signature was not found.  One of the files on the selected boot device was rejected by the secure boot feature".

I have the option to click 'OK' and the laptop eventually loads.  But the same issue appears on each boot.

If I disable Startup Recovery Manager - then there is no issue.

None of the drives have bitlocker enabled.  I don't want to disable 'secure boot' either.

Has anyone got an idea to solve this?  Thanks in advance....

From what I read... ASRM does not work well with Secure Boot. A better solution may be to create a rescue medium and avoid Acronis Startup Recovery Manager altogether.

There is a simple alternative to using ASRM that works just fine with Secure Boot.

Use the Acronis bootable rescue media builder to create a WIM file and store this in a new root folder, i.e. C:\Acronis

The download a free copy of EasyBCD and install this.

Run EasyBCD - confirm you are using it for non-commercial use and accept the warning that you have a UEFI system.

In the EasyBCD panel, select to Add New Entry as shown in the image below:

Note: in the lower right panel, select WinPE, set the name to be shown by Windows Boot Manager, browse to the Path where the Acronis WIM file is stored, then click on the (+) button to add the entry.

Once done, when you boot, you will see the new boot option on the boot menu as per one of my Win 11 systems below which is running ACPHO.

BrunoC - thanks for your response - I thought as much.

Steve - I can see why your tag is Legend!  What an outstanding solution!  Just brilliant.

I'll have an experiment and report back in a day or so.

Thank you both.
