Acronis media builder does not want to advance, stays on looking for drivers

Thread needs solution

I've been a long time user of Acronis True image (Cyber protect home) and for the longest time I've had issues creating a new ISO media.

Everytime I go to create a Windows PE environment (all downloads for ADK completed it spins and spins forever. I do not need any drivers to be added and I have no way to bypass this part. Without it completing there is no way to advance.

I have the same issue on 3 of my computers at home. Two desktops and one laptop. All running their own legal version. All OS versions are running on Windows 11 2H22 with all updates done.

I had the same issues going back on Windows 10, I believe I only got it to work once or twice. 

It would be nice if I could get this to work because I do not like the Linux image. It loads my backups much slower on my NVME drives. I complained about this to Acronis a long time ago but nothing was ever done. 

Anyone else have a solution, or the same issue?

I've attached two screenshots showing the issue.

I don't think there is a workaround to fix this issue. Acronis is looking for video drivers to add. I think using the Simple method will also try to add video drivers and fail in the same way.

You best option is to use the MVPAssistant tool to build WinPE/RE. It should work. You don't have to add a video driver if you don't need it.

Thank for the reply, As suggested I've been doing the simple method. just a shame that I feel like Acronis dev's put their support into things that don't seem to make much of a difference, yet core functions seem to be hit or miss.

Adam,

The linked thread below may be of help to you.

Rescue Media looking for drivers

Thanks for the post, it's very interesting and I did just that. I tried it in a VM and I didn't have any problems with it sitting trying to get the drivers so it's for sure taking forever on the graphic drivers. I had opened also a case with Acronis to issue a enhancement request because I believe this to be a complete oversight or laziness on their part.
