The Unattended syncing worked for months, and then it stopped. I cannot find any instructions how to troubleshoot and get it going again. Can someone give me some pointers?
TIA

How did you set up this unattended sync? What are the specifics? There are multiple ways to achieve an "unattended sync"

I'm using Task Scheduler. I tried canceling and ignoring errors, run minimize and auto close. Nothing is working. Task Scheduler is executing, so it seems like a FreeFilesSync issue, but there isn't much of troubleshooting I can find.

To be clear, the sync is not running at all (rather then it executing but not finding any files to sync).

Tried canceling what? Ignoring errors where and from what? Take the command you entered in the scheduled task and try running it in a CMD window, does it work? You might be better off creating an entirely new task
