Reflect actually started at the correct time so the 5 minute difference isn't something that's related to the scheduler. Can you reset the backup start dialog time to 10s ( or any number really between 0 & 60s) to see if that changes anything. Kind Regards Nick - Macrium Support

Macrium Hero Group: Forum Members Posts: 1.9K, Visits: 19K	@Nick I changed the dialog delay to 10 seconds. To be sure, I unchecked the option after changing the time out, hit OK, rechecked the box, and hit OK again. I then went into Scheduled Backups tab and chose Run Now for today's backup. However, it didn't start immediately, so I'm guessing it won't run until 5 minutes from Last Time Run. Status is Running and Last Result is In Progress but the backup still has yet to start. It's still got about 2 minutes let to go. Backup started WITHOUT a countdown delay dialog like it used to. Even after changing the countdown to 10 seconds.

Macrium Hero Group: Forum Members Posts: 1.9K, Visits: 19K	@Nick Sure, I'll open a support ticket. I'll mention both the 5 minute delay and the missing countdown dialog. Thanks!

Macrium Hero Group: Forum Members Posts: 1.9K, Visits: 19K	@Nick Here's an interesting new data point obtained after submitting the support ticket yesterday. After updating to the 3rd 7.3 release yesterday, I converted my Sunday backup schedule from Windows Task Scheduler to Macrium Task Scheduler. The task DID start on time today AND execute at 9:45 AM! However, it did NOT display the delay dialog normally associated with backups.

Macrium Hero Group: Forum Members Posts: 1.9K, Visits: 19K	Now, THIS is new. Today's backup ran at 9:50 AM again, but what was unusual this time was there was NO icon indicating the backup was running even though it was! I used CTRL+ATL+M to bring up the Macrium window and the backup WAS running, even though there was no icon in the Notification area indicating it was running. The activity indicator light on the target USB HDD was also flashing, indicating the backup was running.

We've identified the cause of your problems and replied to your support ticket yesterday with regard to ReflectUI.exe and AV software. Could you check and reply to the ticket. Many thanks.

Macrium Hero Group: Forum Members Posts: 1.9K, Visits: 19K	@Nick I received that reply about ReflectUI. I just haven't been able to get around to it testing fixes yet, sorry. I will get to it in a bit. When you say you've identified the cause of my problems, do you mean the schedules starting 5 minutes off? Thanks!

Yes, that's correct and the lack of backup starting dialog, in fact, everything in this thread and more. ReflectUI handles IPC between different processes and functionality is being blocked at startup causing the entire process to hang. We can see this from the .dmp file provided.
