backup schedule UAC question

Thread needs solution

Win10, Acronis true image 2018;  When I schedule a backup how do I get acronis to open. I have to answer the UAC question " Do you want this app to make changes to your device? Yes, No.

Joseph, the UAC challenge is normal for ATI (all versions) as far as I understand, especially given that using ATI can make significant system changes depending on the options you choose to use.

Scheduled backup tasks do not require the ATI GUI application to be open and will normally run in the background with just a system tray icon showing activity & percentage done.  You can click on the tray icon, answer the UAC challenge and open the GUI to see more details but this can be a little slower than opening the same when no tasks are open / active.

Ditto to Steve's notes.  You may need to enable Acronis as a taskbar notification "enabled" application to always see the Acronis icon, which will make it easier to see when scheduled backups are running in the background when they kick off.
