I also thought it might be related to a recent bungled Microsoft patch which causes a BSOD boot loop after Windows update installs it and the user reboots for the first time, and downloaded the removal tool as a bootable ISO to burn to CD. Safe mode – same thing, and attempts at OS repair (using Windows tools and third-party tools) came up with no success at all. So, I decided to uninstall it.Īfter uninstalling Acronis, I found I was in a boot loop, and right after the Win7 animated logo, I’d get a BSOD. My usual checks for malware/virus came up zero, and I had no explanation for why the Acronis background server program was using a lot of CPU cycles. I still had Acronis on my main work machine, but this morning the background program for it started doing weird stuff, utilizing a lot of CPU space. This days are long gone and we’ve relegated Acronis to the scrap heap because it has become an enterprise level mess in more ways than one. This is one of this cases where a program started out great, then as corporate weaslism takes hold due to the success, the program becomes more bloated, fragmented, dependent on more libraries, license tiered, and overall more difficult to manage and less rewarding in actual use.Īt my office we used to love this program, because it had a great feature that allowed you to image your disk to a state where windows didn’t have anything except the generic/basic boot drivers installed, allowing you to image to another mobo/processor combination.

So, just to help people who might have issues or are considering using this program, I though I’d write about it while I wait for the updates to complete, since Acronis forced me to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional.
Today, my machine gave me a BSOD after uninstalling a troublesome program. For example, I run a top-end Intel SSD and have a disk image backup. Right now I’m waiting for updates and downloads to complete on my office work computer, a machine that I went to great trouble to make bulletproof.
