Thanks for your quick reply, xCSxXenon, the program was downloaded and installed with the Windows Store app. It's installed ok, I think, the proble I have is that when I run the program, I don't go to the Main Dialog Screen so that I can begin to TRY to understand the program, I was expecting to go to the Main Dialog Screen but I go to somewhere else... And I guess this program is not for me because I'm too old. So, please xCSx, How do I access the Main Display Screen? Or, where do I find the answer to my question?

Thanks in advance,

This program is not available through the Windows store app. You must have downloaded something else.
Here is the real download location:

xCSxXenon,
Well, for some strange reason, when I installed FreeFileSync from the Windows Store App, it also installed another program, RealTimeSync, that I was not aware of. And my problem was that I was trying to run FreeFileSync and was running RealTimeSync instead. Yes, a RealSeniorMoment, for lack of a better name!!!

Just to set the record straight, the program FreeFileSync is available in the Microsoft Store App.

Thanks again, xCSxXenon

Not that I am aware of. Where are you seeing FFS in the store?

Zenju, why don’t you try it yourself? Go to the Windows Store, search for FreeFileSync, and then download it. Then let me know how it went!!!

zCSxXenon,

Well, yesterday it was available, somebody must have ordered it removed from the Windows Store, for some reason. So, my copy of the FFC program is the bastardized Windows Store version, do you think I should be worried about this file, perhaps?
