Actions in progress. Please wait for 8 hours....
Hi Acronis forum,
my PC remains processing, after chosing "shut down" - displaying the message:
"Actions in progress. Please wait. Machine is automatically shut down after actions finished."
Next morning after 8 hours the message is still on screen and I can start working only ba killing all process by reset.
Is this regular behavior of Acronis True Image or what´s going on there behind the screen.
Log-files doesn´t show any suspicious messages. No malware detected.

thank you, but I have no automatic actions like validate or backup programmed - I activate all actions manually.
That´s why the message seems very mysterious to me.

Volker,
As pete mentioned, there is problems with some computer when the shutdown command is executed as part of the backup. The most current version and build is supposed to have made improvement in that area.
One fix that has worked for many is to include the shutdown command inside a batch file and run the batch file as part of the Pre/post post options.
It might also be worthwhile rechecking your options as some default settings can cause validate to run--especially at a later date than the backup. Just check to make sure.
Why should we, as end users of Acronis software, have to create extra files to shut down our computers when that shut down is blocked by Acronis software? This is a Catch-22 situation that shouldn't be. Why can't Acronis fix this problem? Enough users have complained -- and many have moved away from Acronis -- that it would only simple business sense to address this problem. In any event, I am following others in getting rid of this software that causes me problems that should have been relieved years ago.
We have had similar situations. We can't trust Acronis with our backups anymore. Have moved to another product.
