"Please Wait" when setting up a recovery

Thread needs solution

Acronis True Image 2021.

Whenever I try to do a recover, as soon as I select a backup version and disk/partition to restore, it stays on "Please Wait" for something like 15-20 minutes.  TrueImage.exe CPU activity is at 27%, and network activity to loopback at 7KB/s according to Resource Monitor.  No disk activity

What in the world is it doing and how can I get it to speed up?

If I am patient enough, it will then go to the next step of me selecting the target location to restore to but then it's back to the Please Wait for another 5 minutes.
On selecting a disk and before it is at "Please Wait the 2nd time, it flashes the dialog that the partition table type will be changed from GPT to MBR.   Once it is past the 5 minutes of "Please Wait", the dialog is back.

I believe after selecting the partition table option, it is at a pause again with a different msg than "Please Wait" but similar.

Once it gets to restoring, it goes at a normal pace.

Daniel, sorry but what exactly are you restoring here and in what context?

If you are seeing messages about changing from GPT to MBR then it sounds as if you are restoring backups from a UEFI system on a Legacy boot one and I doubt that the end result would be usable.
