I have been using FreeFileSync for a few years now and really like it.
When I am running the sync using a scheduled task I cannot see the progress of the sync, so I am not sure how much longer it will still take to complete.
I can see the process is still running when I look at the files and the app in Task manager.
Is there a way I can see the actual progress of the sync when it is running this way?

If your scheduled task is running under different user credentials than the user that is logged-in, you will never see the progress.
If the task is run under the same user credentials as the user that is logged in:
• If the task runs a *.ffs_gui configuration, it will always open the FFS GUI,
but you need to manually make the sync run.
• If the task runs a *.ffs_batch configuration that was saved without checkmarking "Run minimized", it will run by itself, but you should see the progress dialog.
