popups to buy 2017

Thread needs solution

How can I disable popup ads to buy 2017 version?

honestly, last couple versions have not worked that well for me.

it has so many processes. does 2017 have less processes or can I disable most of them? maybe the one that has popup ads?

Log into your online account - click on settings in the left.  Uncheck the top 3 items and enable the last item (see screenshot).  You can also opt out of the customer eperience program in the application too.

2017 has more processes than before. I disable most of them - you can manually go into services and set them from automatic to disabled after stopping them.  They don't turn back on.  The only one I keep enabled is the scheduler service since I run scheduled jobs.  I don't use the dashboard, or mobile backups, or nonstop or anything else so just disable them and it runs fine without them.  I have a .bat script on the MVP Google Drive that can help you turn them off or on quickly if you don't want to manually change them.  Works for 2016 and 2017.  The MVP Google Drive is linked bleow.

Done! thanks for that.

I'll think about 2017, more services are scary. if they can all be turned off no harm I guess.

mainly used to clone a drive once a year or so.

I turned off all services tried a backup and would not work without scheduling service enabled. changed it back to Automatic not Automatic (Delayed Start) correct?

couldn't find the .bat file. 

Thanks again

 

 

Tim, the Schedul2 service is needed to run any backup, not just those that you schedule.  The service can be set to either Automatic, or to Automatic (Delayed Start) as suits your preference, both will work fine.

The bat file can be found via the Google Tools link in my signature below.  Once you follow the link, click on the icon for Common BAT...  which will put you in the folder with a number of different files to choose from.

Tim, about the emails from Acronis: if you want to completely turn off all the emails from Acronis, not just beta or special offers, it is possible, just let us know via a support ticket.
