Acronis Active Protection slows down applications
I have spent many hours trying to find out why Windows 10 File Explorer was so slow when opening after booting. I didn't want to waste anymore time; so, I gave up and purchased an alternative file explorer called Directory Opus. Well Opus doesn't work either. Program not responding. Digging further, Opus says the problem is with Acronis True Image. Something to do with file shell extensions. A web search yielded:
62113: Acronis Active Protection slows down applications without a valid digital signature that modify many files in a short period of time
The solution is to whitelist the slow programs. Unfortunately, 2017 doesn't have this option. What is the solution for 2017? After wasting all of the time determining the problem, please don't tell me I need to upgrade to 2019.

See KB 59356: Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation: troubleshooting Acronis Active Protection - which has some information on 'Manage permission list' for allowing programs etc.
