I have a few RealTimeSync instances running, and every time a sync occurs a popup popup briefly flashes on the screen titled "0 Initializing... - <batch name>". (See attached video for an example.) The pinned FFS icon in the taskbar also "jumps" as if being activated.

Is there a way to prevent this from occurring and have the process run completely in the background?

More info:
• Batches are configured to run minimized, auto-close, and ignore errors
• No arguments to FreeFileSync.exe other than the *.ffs_batch file
• FFS version 14.7 (latest) on Windows 11
• This only started happening fairly recently. I haven't tried downgrading to see if it occurs on older versions

This happened to me, too - on version 13.9

It seems to be a bug that was introduced recently, somewhere around that version.

I have downgraded to 13.3 which seemingly doesn't have the issue.

Looks like this was already reported in the General forum and is planned to be fixed in 14.8.
