![]() The only thing left to do was to re-install Windows from scratch. Tried to fix the master boot record, to no avail. For a moment it looked like I had rid myself of this nightmare. In the course of trying to protect me from malware, Acronis True Image became the very thing it was meant to protect me from.īooting into safe mode, and removing all instances of anything with "Acronis" from my drive and from my registry. And Qt, because of course they chose to use that framework for a cross platform UI. ![]() There were multiple services, hundreds of registry keys, many apps and drivers and files all over. I started to look to see what exactly was installed. ![]() That one froze trying to kill the Acronis services. OK, I searched up how to uninstall it and was directed to this cleanup utility: However, I didn't need it installed anymore so I tried to uninstall it through control panel. So far everything was great as would be expected from Acronis which I've used many times over the years. Installed it, created a USB boot and used it to clone my drive. I upgraded a 1TB to 2TB SSD on my system and because both were Western Digital I got the available registered copy of Acronis True Image from their site. Just want to share the horror that Acronis True Image inflicted on me.
