Been using Freefilesync on my Windows 10 computer for a year now and very happy with it. I ended up getting a new tower, which is also running Windows 10, but having issues backing up using task scheduler. I end up getting this error message:

Updated to the latest version of FFS and also reinstalled FFS and still not resolved. Performed the same sequence of task scheduler that works on my first rig, but still running into this issue. Freefilesync works fine if I initiate the batch file manually which performs the mirror backup. Still for some reason I cannot wrap my head around why it is isn't work on my new rig. Any insight or solution is greatly appreciated.

Newer FreeFileSync requires that the ".ffs_batch" file extension is used. Older version were more lenient.
