Bootup without Acronis

Thread solved

Is there some way to disable Acronis from loading on bootup.  I need to troubleshoot some problems and I need Acronis to not load anything for a few days while I work on the problem.

I'm using Acronis 2020 on windows 10 pro.

James, welcome to these public User Forums.

Run the command:  msconfig then look at the Services tab page and sort the services by name to bring all the Acronis services to the top of the list.

Untick the Acronis services then click on Apply.
Note: it is best to Turn off Acronis Active Protection via the ATI GUI page first.

Look at the Startup page then click on the Open task manager link.

Select the Acronis entries shown and select to Disable each in turn.

Excellent, thank you.  Took two tries to stop Acronis scheduler but now all is good :)

Sadly, as soon as I disabled Acronis, my problems with the mouse lagging/sticking/grabbing everything disappeared.  I hate to think this is caused by Acronis, I really want to use it.  Is there some hidden setting that will solve the mouse problems?

James, I am not aware of seeing anyone else in these forums reporting problems with the mouse lagging/sticking/grabbing everything as you are telling us about?

I suspect that you will need to try to isolate which Acronis component (Service or Process) is giving this effect on your computer, then open a support case direct with Acronis to investigate this further.

I would start by enabling just the Acronis Scheduler 2 service and seeing if you see the problem - this is the only really required service that has to be active for backups to run.  The other services are only needed if you are actively using the features that they support.

See KB 63256: Acronis True Image 2020: Windows services and processes - for a description of all these components to guide you in isolating the issue.

I would recommend leaving Acronis Active Protection till the last then reviewing the documents below:
