Hello

I created a batch-file (.ffs_batch) of a FFS sync job . I tried do automate the job by creating a task in windows task scheduler.

Every time I run the windows task, windows doesn't know how to open the file !!!

However if I'm double-clicking the ffs_batch-file (outside of the task scheduler) FFS is opening and the sync job starts.

Can you help me?

As described here, you must invoke FreeFileSync.exe to open the *.ffs_batch file, not just invoke the *.ffs_batch file.
This is true for all scheduled jobs, not just FFS jobs; scheduled tasks are not aware of file-associations.

Post the command you are running via the scheduled task
