Acronis reboots laptop when trying to shut down

Thread needs solution

I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro.  Since upgrading to Acronis True Image 16, Laptop reboots whenever we try to do a shut down.  In order to shut off the laptop I have to physically hold down the power button.  Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so how did you resolve it?  Thanks

How are you telling it to shutdown (short of pressing the button)?  I don't have Windows 8.1 active to test anymore but it did seem to have different behavior when you click on the start button and click shutdown, verses right clicking the start button and then selecting shutdown from there.  Alternatively, open a command prompt and type in the following command:

shutdown /s /t 10    

this will shutdown (not restart) the computer in 10 seconds.  Chnage the 10 to something sooner if you want it to go faster - if you leave the /t off completely it waits 60 seconds.shut

you can also force shutdown (in case something is locked - for instance if acronis is trying to backup or your AV is scanning a file) by using the /F switch

shutdown /s /f /t 10    

if you want a gui... use this (although it has less capabilities)

shutdown /i     (don't pick any remote computers and change restart to shutdown)

These would be tests to see if the system really does shutdown or still restarts.  If you like one, save the text in notepad and change the flle extinsion from .txt to .bat and then you can just double click and run it like an application easily from the desktop instead of using the Windows shutdown buttons/features.

 

 

DCW,

I believe something happened during the upgrade/install of ATI.  When you performed the install, did you remove the earlier version of ATI prior to the install of ATI 2016?  If you did not perform an uninstall, then I recommend you uninstall ATI 2016 using the directions in the link below:

https://kb.acronis.com/content/48668

As part of the uninstall, Acronis have a cleanup utility (link is in the link above) which removes ATI from the registry.  You should download the utility and follow the procedures listed in the link above.  After completing the uninstall, you will reboot your computer.  Prior to installing ATI 2016, you can confirm that shutdown is back to normal.  Then proceed with a clean install.

If you did remove the earlier version of ATI, then you could proceed with a "Repair" install.  To do a "Repair", run the ATI 2016 install program again.  This time, you will have an option to "Repair".  If the Repair doesn't fix the problem, then proceed with the uninstall.

Hello All,

DCW, if suggestions of Bobbo and FtrPilot did not help you, you can contact Acronis Customer Central to get further assistance on this issue.

Perhaps it is an operating system crash at shutdown attempt which causes computer to reboot automatically instead of closing properly.
