How can I reconfigure True Image 2012 to stop causing this message to appear every time that I execute it on Windows 7 x64?

Hello Peter,

Welcome to our Forum, we're glad to greet you here.

In order to get rid from this pop-up you need to either start the product as Administrator (Right-click on the icon -> Run as Administrator), or disable UAC on your machine.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you.

Do not disable UAC. UAC is an important part of system protection.

Either login as Admin to run True Image, or set it to always run ad Administrator.

It looks as though the answer is to go into Disk Backup Options, go down to "Windows account," expand that, check Run backup as different Windows user, then enter the name and password.

However, when I try to do that, I get the error message "The specified account name or password is incorrect."

Since I am pretty sure I know my admin user name and password, there might be a bug there. Can anyone else try this feature and check me. I very well could be entering something incorrectly.

This is a feature of Windows and it does this check for any program that performs certain kinds of activities. Either turn off UAC or learn to live with it. Think of it like the lock on the door to your house. Your landlord insists on a self-latching lock. You can remove the lock or you can move to another bldg (OS).

No, I think the point of the option I asked about is that the Administrator can enter a password and let the program run thereafter without a password request. I have had another backup program do it that way. And I am pretty sure that if you ask Acronis, they meant it to work that way.

So why doesn't it work?

Hi,

How can I reconfigure True Image 2012 to stop causing this message to appear every time that I execute it as an Administrator on Windows 7 x64?

I have seen this and similar threads asking this question, with no real solution.

Apart from disabling UAC is there one?

It is a total nuisance, to sign on as an Administrator, to my own PC and get this message every time.

In addition, it effectively disables the scheduler, which cannot run until this message is answered.

It only works for that one instance of starting the program. Next time it starts, you're back to square one.

You can use Windows Task Scheduler to run any program without UAC prompting following this guideline: http://thecustomizewindows.com/2010/11/create-a-shortcut-to-run-a-progr…

That's how we did it before Acronis wrote it's own scheduler. However, that method stopped working when Acronis changed the way it made task management files. I don't think this will work for version ati2012 and later.

I'm not referring to using Windows Task Scheduler to run a scheduled task, just using it to bypass UAC prompting at program startup.
I use this method all the time to create shortcuts for programs that require elevated permissions to run.

Why is not YES in "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer"
Windows 8.1 pro
please tell

Greetings,
What OS is this? If windows 7 have a look at your UAC settings.

Having just installed Acronis True Image 2015, I see that the "Do you want to allow" message is still present. It is disturbing that it should still be happening.
