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.

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

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?

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
