Picture this, when a sync is complete and auto-close ticked, the sync dialog would close immedially, and there is not way to untick it after a recent sync other than racing with a quickly disappering sync dialog unticking auto-close, it would be be nice to add a short countdown like 3 seconds to allow user to untick auto-close after the sync is complete.

Alternatively if implementing a countdown too complex, adding an option in Synchronisation Setting page would be another option.

It would be very nice to see both options being implemented given the author wanted to.

Any thoughts on this idea?

Have it run a command instead:
"shutdown -s -t 30"
This gives a 30-second delay. You can abort by running "shutdown -a" in a command prompt.
You could also write a batch script that gives an interactive countdown with an abort option, then have the FFS sync run that script as a post-sync command.

I definitely mis-interpreted the OP
LOL oops
I must've had another tab opening talking about shutting down the system instead of this one about the results window closing automatically.
