System Reboot Issue After Installing FreeFileSync

[CharlieW]

Good Morning,

After installing FreeFileSync, I successfully configured the application and confirmed that all files are backing up correctly and that file changes are being detected as expected.

As part of the setup, a batch configuration was added to the Startup menu to automate the backup process. In addition, I attempted to use FreeFileSync – RealTime to monitor changes.

Following these changes, I began experiencing a critical issue: after starting my computer/workstation, the system automatically reboots shortly after signing in. This issue also occurs when opening FreeFileSync – RealTime manually. The behavior is consistent and did not occur prior to the installation and configuration of FreeFileSync.

This memo is to document the issue and request assistance in diagnosing and resolving the unexpected reboot behavior.

Any suggestions will be welcome,

Happy Holidays
Charlie

Additional information - On start up it boots up then goes into hibernation/sleep then I need to press space bar to wake.

In your FFS configuration, did you set the computer to go to sleep after the sync finishes?

[CharlieW]

Yes, that was it exactly. Thank you. Can you also explain the radio button fount in as a batch job "auto close" I currently have that unchecked. Thank you and Happy Holidays

If you don't check it, the results window will stay displayed after the sync finishes
