I am on Windows server 2022. With a .bat file or command line, FreeFileSync launches according to the requested batch file, executes the comparison, but does not launch the synchronization. If the launch is done via a scheduled task, the task also launches but does not launch the synchronization. With RealTimeSync, no error message but nothing happens via an event. Does anyone have an idea?

It sound like you invoke FreeFileSync to run a sync configuration saved as *.ffs_gui.
Running *.ffs_gui configurations always wait after a Compare to manually start the actual sync.

Instead, you should save the sync configuration as a *.ffs_batch file, and invoke FreeFileSync to run said *.ffs_batch sync configuration.

Ok, thanks a lot. I didn't know that. I think that will solve the problem.
