This should already be the case, unless your scheduled tasks use a different location for GlobalSettings.xml:

https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=schedule-batch-jobs

If you schedule FreeFileSync to run under a different user account, note that settings (e.g. GlobalSettings.xml) will also be read from a different path, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync, or in the case of the SYSTEM account from C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync.

i have verified that the scheduled tasks run under the same user and should access the same GlobalSettings.xml. The logfiles of the batch jobs and of the jobs started via GUI were created in the correct same path (%APPDATA%\FreeFileSync\Logs). Any idea what ist wrong?

oh sorry, it was my mistake. I had copied the job files to another path and edited with xml editor directly. So the scheduled tasks used other task files than are visible in the gui. Now all is right. Thank you.
