Turn Acronis 2017 off?

Thread needs solution

I want to temporarily turn Acronis 2017 off and remove its processes from memory.  Seems pretty basic, but I can't find any way to do this.

Acronis runs as background Windows Services and is meant to have some running at all times to accommodate scheduled backups.  Please see https://kb.acronis.com/content/60522 for a list of the services and their functions (the KB is for 2018, but still applicable to 2017).  

You either have to manually stop them in computer management >>> services , or use a simple .bat script to automate the process.  

There are some examples you can use in the MVP Google Drive:
