Build 39184 causing Corsair's iCue software to misbehave

Thread solved

The latest build of ATI (39184) does not seem to play very nicely with Corsair's iCue software, both versions 3 and 4.

Corsair.Service.CpuIdRemote and Corsair.Service.Display.Adapter were each using 8-10% of CPU -- 100% of core0 which brought my idle temps up 8-10 degrees C.

After a lot of troubleshooting, I found that removing True Image brought things to normal and the two services are now reported as using between 0.0 and 0.5%.

Contacting Acronis tech support resulted in an emailed article titled: "Why add anti-malware protection to a backup solution?"  I'll keep trying to get someone from support.

Build 35860 of True Image works fine with iCue.

Benjamin, welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but there look to be a number of issues introduced with the changes in build 39184 and you need to pursue this directly with Acronis Support via a support case.

The email article is pure sales output and nothing related to your contact with support - it came out to all users yesterday!

You can try adjusting the Protection settings in ATI 2021 or try using the option to 'turn off protection permanently' but please be aware that this still leaves all the associated background services & processes active / running!

Thanks Steve.  I did get a response from support later in the evening.  (The timing and topic of the sales email led me to believe it was automated by support.) 

Hopefully support/engineering can find my information helpful.

I was able to download the previous build (35860) and it is running without incident.

I have a case opened.

Support recommended using a clean install of Build 39184 after using their clean up tool.  Despite the clean install, the high CPU usage with iCue processes problem was reproduced.  I also submitted a system report log of the system behaving poorly.  Had some additional issues as cmd and powershell wouldn't open so I couldn't submit a requested process dump.

Back to Build 35860 and no issues.
