Hi Steve,

We are sorry to hear this.

Are you unable access the program after you put it on sleep mode?

For better clarity, please share us the screenshot of the issue.

It says "No Problem" [in so many words] -- go ahead, put those background programs to sleep -- you can trust us!

WRONG!

I was suspicious, but I tried it, a few days ago.  Today I realized I hadn't, for awhile, seen the FreeFileSync program task-icons.  So, I took a look in the [Win 10] Task Scheduler.  And... WTF!  All three of my FFSync tasks were disabled!!  Again...WTF?!?!

Also, a task that does clean up on a Raspberry PI home webserver was disabled!!! For the third time WTF?!?

Apparently the AVG policy is: If we don't know what it is -- DISABLE IT!

So, I offer this as a cautionary tale for all.
