Task Scheduled Task no longer works. - Allway Sync Pro
Hi guys. Thanks for being here.
I have been using Allway Sync Pro for the last few years. I paid for the Lifetime version. Good Sync acquired the software, and they want me to pay for the subscription model – usual for-profit hungry companies. This programme synchronises my HDD to my NAS. It USED to do it automatically.
I am using Windows Task Scheduler from instructions on You Tube specifically for Allway Sunc Pro.
It stopped about a year ago while still on Win 10 Pro now on Win 11 Pro. I originally reached to the You Tuber who loved the programme and used Task Scheduler. I followed his instructions, cand it was stable for a long time. I reached out to him when it failed to automatically synchronise – nothing. I reached out to the new company and – no they want me to transfer to the subscription model.
Can you help?
Sounds like after GoodSync took over, they may have disabled some Pro features like scheduled sync for lifetime users. If Task Scheduler isn’t triggering Allway Sync anymore, it’s likely due to recent Windows or app updates breaking compatibility. You can try running the task with highest privileges, or switching to an open-source sync tool like FreeFileSync for automation without a subscription.
