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

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?

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
