"Turn off protection" is grayed out under "Protection" tab in Acronis 2021

Thread needs solution

I just installed Acronis 2021 Essentials.  Under the Protection tab, the "Turn off Protection" button is grayed out.  Why?  How can I tell if the ransomware is running?

Bob, your images both show that the Acronis anti-ransomware protection is enabled / running.

You may need to turn off the setting above (change from On to Off) to see the other 'Turn off Protection' option become available, though this may only be available in your Essentials version if you elect to take the 30-day trial of the full Protection features!
