Always since version 12, I have been going basics over the "operations are in progress" blue screen of death (or color of your choice in Win 8, 8.one) when close downwards or restart is attempted while Acronis True Epitome Home is running.

Hither's the ready. I have to credit a tech at Acronis with the batch file, and it worked fine until I upgraded with a clean install to Windows eight.1. So the command to run the batch file was lost. Because my 30 days of tech support had passed, Acronis would not tell me where to find the console for setting the batch file. At the initial install, the tech set it up for me using remote access.

This is one of the failings of remote access. As a estimator user, it's not possible to fully understand what changes the tech is making to the figurer.

Through trial and error, endless Google searches to discover the correct combination of words, I final found what I needed.

First, you lot need to create a batch file called "KillAcronis.bat" Use Notepad or similar text editor:
---------------------
REM Open gpedit.msc
REM Go to Windows Settings > Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) > Shutdown > Add "C:\Acronis\KillAcronis.Bat

/echo off
taskkill /IM Trueimagehomeservice.exe /f
taskkill /IM trueimage.exe /f
--------------------

Save "KillAcronis.bat" to your C:\ root directory. Likewise, save a copy in your documents directory or other backup folder for safekeeping. I added the two "REM" lines to be able to find what I needed in the future if I take another senior moment.

========================
Install the Batch File:

Open GPEDIT.MSC. In Windows Vista and 7, use RUN > GPEDIT.MSC
In Windows 8 and eight.one, from the Kickoff Screen, type "GPEDIT.MSC"

Navigate in the first panel to "Windows Settings > Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)"
Double click on Shutdown in the correct side pane.
When the window opens, click "Add" then scan to your batch file of enter "C:\KillAcronis.bat"
Shut all the Windows.
========================

You lot're all set. Yous'll never see the "Operations in Progress" blue screen of death ever again.
