True Image 2017 doesn't launch
Hi folks,
I've been running Acronis True Image for years without much trouble. However lately it will not launch at all. When I launch it from the start menu, the cursor will flicker for a bit, but that's it. No GUI, no error, nothing in Windows Event Viewer.
Has anybody ever seen such a thing? And more importantly, what it the cause / solution?
Thanks!

I'm re-running the ATI2017 installer in "repair" mode, and it's been stuck on "Repairing..." for over 10 minutes on a pretty fast computer.

After running the True Image cleanup utility and installing again, I can report the same behavior. While TrueImage.exe is running, I see nothing on the screen. I'm using Windows 10 version 1607 (OS Build 14393.969)

Ok, it appears that the Cleanup utility doesn't actually complete until the admin user logs back in again. So while I did complete the cleanup utility and rebooted, I did not log back in again as the admin user. So it appears that it did not actually complete.
I only noticed this after logging in as an admin and saw a flurry of CMD.EXE prompts. So I tried the cleanup utility again, rebooted, and logged back in as admin. This seems to have completely removed ATI. And after re-install it's working again it seems.
Just unfortunate that the settings for my backup scheme are now all gone.

Bill, sorry to hear your tale of woe with getting ATIH 2017 running.
With the Cleanup Tool, you do need to run this as Administrator, ideally from an Admin account and then restart to complete the action before then reinstalling 2017 as admin again.
Acronis does not play well when being run from non administrator accounts.
