Sounds like you are syncing a bunch of temp files that are being automatically deleted as they are supposed to be. Then, you sync again and FFS has to delete them from the destinat…

No trouble! We're on the forum to help

OK, thanks for investigating! I guess I will stay with version 11.17 for now, this is the last version where everything worked fine!

Okay, let's round progress percentage numbers down in the next FreeFileSync release.

[Quote] worked! thx

[Quote] Hi SJH It is working! Thanks a lot!

Interesting: after the last major update for Windows 11 (Version 22H2), the sounds started working again. My test program worked also. Yea!!!
