Acronis Try-n-Decide
Try-n-Decide is not working. It indicates I need to disable Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (which I did not enable). When I run Acronis Startup Recovery Mgr tool, it pops up a box with a Disable option showing (which it should not because it was never enabled). Needless to say choosing this option does not work as Try-n-Decide still won't start. I'm having this problem on my new Acer Aspire E15 laptop. It came with Windows 8.1 but I upgraded it to Windows 10. Aparently Windows 10 uses this EFI partitioning requirement which allows 120 some odd partitions or something (GPT partitioning) and I believe this is part of if not the whole problem. Acronis identifies my partiton as NTFS Basic GPT, which doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, I read that Acronis software doesn't work well with GPT partitions. On my desktop I have Windows 10, but I set it up using a NTFS partition I created and performed a clean Windows 10 install on. I've had no problems with Acronis on that unit. I've been trying to straighten out some glitches with this Acer preload/upgrade to Windows 10 configuration for 2 days now. I really don't want to have to start from scratch and reload. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Acronis is useless to me without Try-n-Decide.

Thanks for the reply. Actually Acronis Startup Recovery Mgr isn't working either. I have not done so with the laptop, but I'm going to try a backup and if successful I'll try a clean install and then put Acronis on, check functionality of Try-n-Decide and perhaps have an additional update to this in case anyone else might be interested.

MVP Karl is experiencing the same issue.
I have tested Try&Decide on two different computers and a virtual machine all running UEFI GPT Windows 10 x64. On those systems TnD functioned correctly until activating the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. After activating and deactivating ASRM TnD fails to discard changes on the required reboot and the storage for virtual changes does not stop growing.

Activating ASRM also causes unremovable drive letter assignments to the EFI system and MSR partitions in Windows explorer. The assignment to the ESP can be removed with diskpart but returns after a reboot.

These issues do not occur on the same hardware with UEFI GPT Windows 8.1 x64.
