But they do definitely run! I have checked. If I open the windows task scheduler I do not see the SBF tasks anymore. Please anyone who can help? Although I suspect a bug in Windows or SBF icw the Win Task Scheduler. If I run a task manually it does indeed show errors in Chrome, but if it's run by the scheduler it does not show in my browser. I now have to check my tasks results manually every time in the SBF overview screen, if they have succeeded. And that still does not happen anymore when task runs automatically. However, I used to get an error message in my default browser (Chrome) when a task dit not succeed (e.g. Solved this myself by deleting the schedules and remaking them again. Had the same problem after last MS Win makers update.

AFAICS, there's no guarantee the next MS dropped-ball can be cured that way, though it probably won't hurt to try it.Īdditional bug: no automatic error notification in browser anymore.!!! (Since Windows makers update 1703) where the process (API calls, etc) creates new Tasks, that haven't - yet - been broken, or are not now incompatible with their environment).

Hence many of them seem curable by deleting and re-creating Schedules (i.e. Many of these seem to be dropping the ball in respect of proprietary (i.e non-MS) Task library locations and/or corrupting Tasks stored there, and/or changing the rules so current internal Task settings don't work properly in the revised Scheduler framework.

There does seem to be a lot of tinkering going on by MS (almost certainly 'undocumented') in respect of the WTS in every major Win10 update recently. But because the NextRun value displayed in SyncBack (having been polled from the Task next time you run SB, etc) has been incremented, it looks like SB was called when it wasn't, knew all this was going on, disobeyed the call to run the profile, and so on. It's perfectly possible for a broken Task (or broken Scheduler) to self-update this value but not actually call the application it's supposed to, and if SyncBack isn't called, it can't run your profile. SyncBack only polls the WTS Task objects for the currently-stored Next Run value and displays it in the SB UI. No - SyncBack does not update the Next Run value of a Schedule - the Windows Task Scheduler does (increment this value in the Task) based on the 'when' rules & settings stored in the Task. SyncBack updates the 'next run' time to the next day after the time passes, but the profile does NOT run.
