How to stop ADD12 from rebooting after Clone Completed??

Thread needs solution

I have ADD12 build 12.0.3223

How can I stop ADD12 from rebooting my computer when the disk cloning process is completed?

In the ADD12 online manual, it states that it will shut the system down, but mine reboots. I have a multi-boot system and the default reboot is to GRUB/Ubuntu 14.x, not BCD. ( I'm a casual Linux user only. I do not know how to get it to boot directly to windows boot selection menu. But it is ok as Linux is fine for email, internet, etc)

Cloning a disk takes a long time, hours. If I'm not right there at the moment of the reboot, Linux boots. I shut the machine down from Linux, disconected the drives, and tested them both in the new machine that did work before the cloning.  Both source & cloning drives become usless for some reason I do not understand. These were Win 10 drives with 3 partitions; System, Windows, Recovery.

I did a test with a Win10 only install, on small drives, 32K SSD's. It only too about 20 minutes for teh cloing to complete. So I was there to make sure the system stayed off. Those drive worked fine. So it is the reboot Linux that dose something. I just need to know how to stop ADD12 from rebooting.

If this is helpful, below ....

Current Win 10 Pro power settings:

Power button = Shut Down

Sleep Button = Sleep

Shutdown settings:fast startup, sleep, hibernate, lock, all checked.

Thanks for any help.

A bit molre information on how you did the clone would help. Did you clone using the recovery media or using ADD 12 windows App? If the later it looks like the 'instruction' to load ADD 12 rather than  Windows 10 was not removed after the cloning. Not sure how you would fix this other than trying a Windows 10 repair.

PS I know next to nothing about ADD 12; just applying solutions that seem to work when cloning with ATI 2017 goes wrong.

Never tried Disk Director either - seems like it has not been updated in awhile though and that's much too long for my liking...

Product Updates

I do have a license, but never felt compelled to try it as I use free software for paritioning which does the job nicely and safely.  Didn't realize you could clone with Disk Director though, but seeing as it's been a year since the last update, it feels like support is lacking.  

You may want to try contacting support though.  Acronis recently changed the support period from 30 days to 2 years from release.  Disk Director doesn't have an end of life date listed so I would assume it is an actively supported product at this time and should not cost for a technical support case with the new changes to the support policy:
