Hi everyone!

With the migration of my Homeserver from Win 10 to Server 2019, I opted to get the donation edition.

Sadly, version 11.3 doesn't start. While Realtime Sync launches normally, the normal FreeFileSync doesn't launch at all. I tested some other version, and every version up to 11.2 works as it should.

Is this some known issue, is there a workaround?
If not, is there a possibility to get the v11.2 of the donation edition and wait for a fix?

Otherwise I'd have to use the normal edition in the meantime...

Thanks in advance! :-)

FreeFileSync might be crashing and Windows doesn't report it.
Can you check Windows Registry (regedit.exe) at the following subkeys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
and see if there exists a value DontShowUI that is set to 1, which means that crashes are hidden.

Hi Zenju!

I checked both subkeys, sadly there is no value in any of them or any further subkeys.

Next step would be Process Monitor then: https://freefilesync.org/faq.php#trace

There's an error, but the error message is not shown properly. Can you test with the following version and see if you get the message?

So, just when I wanted to start testing the version in your link, I saw that 11.4 is out.

Downloaded the Donation Edition and - voila - it works.

Thanks! :-)
