do you have Acronis on a USB? If so then you may need to turn off Secure Boot in your BIOS to boot into it. Then you can turn it back on when you're done.

Brandon,

unfortunately that part I can't answer as every computer is a bit different on getting into BIOS and every bios is laid out different.

once you get into your bios though then Secure Boot is usually in a security section.

 

edit: alternatively you could redo your USB drive using something like Ventoy which supports booting on UEFI systems with Secure Boot enabled

https://www.neowin.net/software/ventoy-1091/

is super simple to use, run the program and select your USB drive to prepare the drive then after that you simply place the ISO file on the drive. It supports putting multiple ISOs on the drive in case you want to have anything extra like the Windows ISO and such on there too

You say that you are loading it from the boot manager...did you try changing the boot order from the BIOS so that the USB is the primary drive the BIOS locates?

Is your TPM active? Secure Boot?

Rather than focus on Acronis, what happens if you try to boot a Live-USB of a Linux OS? That would help us figure out if the image on the drive is weird or if there is something in the BIOS preventing a Live-USB from working.

I gave up on Acronis because they rely on a version of linux/grub for booting; these versions really do not get along well with the newest computers. It is much easier to use the free Macrium software; I've used it for the past few years and have had no problems. If you want you can use it to create an ISO file to mount on a usb for Rescue purposes.

Hello,

Acronis True Image 2018 does not seem to be supported anymore.  See this discussion from about a month ago here on Neowin from someone who had the same issue.

Sorry, I used acronis 2021. I will try macrium to see if that helps.

As another user indicated, make sure your USB drive is set to boot before the Windows system drive.
Make sure you use a relatively fast USB drive.
Which program are you using to put your Acronis or Macrium iso onto the USB?

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Malisk · Posted

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, mucking around with settings, maybe shoot some calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By Case_f · Posted

      Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
