Computer Resources

Thread needs solution

Acronis True Image 2020 has 7 services running, as well as other background processes, on my Windows 10 PC.

I do not schedule automatic backups, sync to the cloud, or use other available features in ATI2020.

I can see from Task Manager that these services and process use valuable computer resources.

I would like to turn these services off, and just use Acronis True Image when I manually back up.

Will I negatively impact file or image backups if I do this?

Thanks.

Ed

Ed, welcome to these public User Forums.

See KB 63256: Acronis True Image 2020: Windows services and processes - which describes the purpose of each of these.

In ATI 2020 you should be able to disable all the background services with the exception of the Acronis Scheduler2 and Active Protection services.

The Scheduler2 service is required to be able to perform any backup operation.

The Active Protection service is designed to be unstoppable but you can turn off AAP within the settings in the main ATI 2020 GUI panels - the background service will still run!
