Build 42980 (April 28, 2026)
Important update with this release
To improve security, stability, and performance, Acronis True Image focuses on modern operating systems that are actively supported by Microsoft. This allows us to deliver stronger protection, faster updates, and a more reliable backup and recovery experience.
Acronis True Image cannot be installed on the following operating systems, which are no longer supported by Microsoft and may present security or compatibility risks:- Windows XP
- Fixed an issue where creating Linux-based bootable media in Acronis True Image Universal Restore could fail with a Cannot load the dynamic library error.

- Fixed scheduler service crashes on startup after updating to certain builds.
- Improved display on high-resolution screens.
- Resolved an installation issue where Installation cannot continue appeared when downloading a newer build via the installer.
Also, Acronis True Image does not support installation on 32-bit Windows systems. To continue receiving the latest product updates, ensure that your system is running a 64-bit version of Windows.
If you are still using a 32-bit system, see the related Knowledge Base article for details and recommended next steps.
What's new- Added a progress bar for background installation of application security patches to keep users informed of update status.
