How to disable Acronis antimalware

Thread needs solution

I have a Seagate external drive that uses Acronis but when I need to do anything to the Acronis part it says I need to buy a license. I do NOT want Acronis bur Seagate installed it. The reason I need to stop is an Acronis driver, ngscan, is stopping Windows 11 from running Microsoft DirectStorage.

I am not running the seagate system but this dodgy Acronis driver is still causing a problem. How do I disable it please????

David, welcome to these public User Forums.

If Acronis is provided by Seagate with their hardware then they should also provide you with a valid license for its use.

See KB 2201: Support for OEM Versions of Acronis Products which applies to all OEM versions of ATI supplied with hardware purchases.

Assuming that the version of Acronis involved here is the latest ACPHO software then this allows for a Custom / selective install where all the security components can be omitted from the install or uninstalled.
