Work around for shutdown hang
After the last lot of patch Tuesday (Jan 2016) updates for Windows 10, I have had no end of problems trying to shutdown my PC (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit)...the old Acronis waiting to finish issue...but we all know it never finishes...and only way to shutdown is hard power off PC....which is not a great outcome at all.
I have been using Acronis on a weekly basis to run a series of scheduled backups.
So the only way I have been able to configure things so that I can run the weekly backups and freely shutdown my PC at any time without Acronis preventing it is by the following:
- Acronis Managed Machine Service Mini - service set to disabled
- Acronis Nonstop Backup Service - service set to disabled
- Acronis Sync Agent Service - service set to disabled
- Acronis Scheduler2 Service - service set to Manual
All I do then is to Start the "Acronis Scheduler2 Service", let my backups run and then Stop the service. This works perfectly well and after numerous tests I can successfuly shutdown my PC without Acronis preventing this from occurring.
Looks like there is a "bug" in Acronis where the Acronis Scheduler2 Service is preventing the PC shutting down.
I have no scheduled backups other than the ones run once a week on a Friday.
There are no validation jobs scheduled.
BTW, this is making me look for a much better backup solution given the behaviour of Acronis
