Scheduler Service stops - every time I reboot the PC - anyone have a fix for this?
Hi all, first post here. I have 2016 running on Win7 (yes I know it's obsolete but I still like it...). Every time I start up the PC, I get an error message from Acronis that the Scheduler Service is stopped, and must be restarted in order for the automatically scheduled backups to occur as configured. I click the popup window, and Acronis turns on the service again. But it always turns off again upon next reboot. I verified a "Scheduler2 Service" is in the Startup configuration for my PC.
Any ideas as to why, or how to fix this? Any help is appreciated.
Greg

Hi, thanks so much for your help - it's taken me forever to get back to this. But I have a question - how do you find the Scheduler2 Service Properties? I couldn't get their from the Startup menu path shown.
I did find my software was not the latest build, so I updated that. Meanwhile I was hoping to find the Properties you showed in your very detailed email below.
Many thanks for helping, Greg

Greg, I wasn't using the msconfig tool from your image.
The easiest way of getting to the Services page is to first launch the Task Manager by right-clicking on the status bar on the desktop, then click on the Services tab in the panel shown.
When the Task Manager > Services page is open, click on the Open Services link shown at the bottom of the page near the left corner. This will open the actual Services control panel where you can get to the Properties of any selected service in the list.
To access the Properties of a service, right-click on the name, i.e. Acronis Scheduler2 Service then select Properties from the drop-down menu shown.

I had this same problem with ATI2019 and none of the solutions posted here (or elsewhere) worked for more than a few days. In the end, I set up a Windows scheduler task to manually start the service and that runs 5 minutes before my daily backup is scheduled to start. It's been working successfully for a while now so hopefully it's a robust solution.
I created a batch file with the following commands:
sc config AcrSch2Svc start= demand
sc start AcrSch2Svc
and set up a Windows scheduler task to run the batch file. The first command seems to be necessary because I found that the scheduler service was always disabled after a PC restart and wouldn't therefore just start up on demand with the "start" command; changing its configuration to "on demand" start meant that the second command to start it is successful. Note that the space between "start=" and "demand" seems to be mandatory (take that programmer out and shoot him/her)!
I have the task set up to "run with highest privileges" and also the task is set to wake the computer up if it's asleep.

Wow that’s possibly a brilliant solution. I will definitely try that. I didn’t have any luck w the previous ideas either, seems like a stubborn issue. Thanks! Greg
