ASZ visible with Drive-Letter when Startup Recovery Manager installed!
Hi!
On one of my computers (Windows 10) I have deleted the Secure Zone with Windows' built-in partition-manager tool, instead of removing it with Acronis Secure-Zone manager. - Now, -- with active Acronis Startup Recovery Manager, -- the newly created Secure Zone always gets a Windows drive-letter (after first reboot of Windows 10) and is fully accessable from Windows Explorer, like any other partition!
As soon as I deactivate the Startup Recovery Manager again, the ASZ-Drive is invisible, after next reboot, - and as soon as I re-activate Acronis Startup Manager again, it gets a drive letter and is visible again, after next reboot. ...
Why? - Is it a bug, or how can I make the ASZ invisible with active Recovery Manager? - Building a new Secure Zone does not fix the problem
On this computer also the option "[ ] Shut down Computer when ready" is also not longer visible, with uninstalled Recovery Manager and when running a backup of the entire computer. Further problems are, that saved configuration presets (I saved the options with the "[Save as...]" feature) are not longer available, when creating a new Backup task (probably after having removed the old one or all other).
My Configuration:
Win10 Pro 32-bit Build 10240, Acronis True Image 2016 Build 5634,
Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB, as first (boot-) drive, 1.7 TB Samsung HD 2.5" as second drive, with ASZ on it (589,91 GB), Computer: ASUS X72Vn Notebook with 3(4)GB RAM

Hello Dmitry!
Ok, thank you for your answer! - Known problem sounds good!
To your questions:
1.) Correct: "Shut down the computer after completion" I have meant (sorry have tried to translate it from German), as it looks like in your attached image. I am too busy today, therefore I will attache a screenshot at sunday. The "[ ] Shut down the computer after completion" checkbox was missing, -- as you said, -- after having started a manual standard-backup ("Entire Computer"). The scheme was automatically made by Build 5634. I have modified it only regarding the use of compression and runtime-resources, but have not checked the "[ ] Automatically shutdown after Backup" option within the options/scheme. Then have started the backup manually with "[Backup now]". - The same I did on my second computer (an ACER notebook), - but there the "[ ] Shut down the computer after completion" option was visible during the backup process. ... Strange, I know ...
2.) I have created the backup schemes right before figuring out what the problem with the visible drive letter is. Directly after having installed the online-update to build 5634. - On the day before build 5634 twice could not be installed. But this was before I have saved the schemes. - Priviously ... directly after the successfull update, yesterday, I have deleted all existing backups and have made new ones. - Then, after deleting the ASZ and making a new one and en-/disabling the Recovery Manager two or three times, I have made new backups and new schemes in the options, wanted to save them, and have seen, that the old ones have vanished. ... I cannot give you a better description about this, because I don't know when exactly they have disappeared ...
Regards
Carsten

Hello again, Carsten.
The first issue is indeed strange, I have never before encountered this before.
As to the second issue, I have a question: do you have multiple user accounts on your computer? This may have happened if you created the other custom schemes under one Windows user, then logged in as another user - then those custom schemes would indeed be inaccessible.

Nevermind, I actually found the issue.
Looks like the custom schemes disappear after activating the Startup Recovery Manager.
I have reported the issue to the development team.

I have the same issue on one computer. My other computers don't have this issue: the shtudown computer after backup option just doesn't show in the interface, or blinks and disappears. When I create other backup tasks, it does show up...
