SyncBackSE (commercial) • Re: Missing Global Option

Hi, check that section of the Help again, especially the note below the initial section you quoted (my italics/underline)

Prompt me before running any profiles configured to run on shutdown/restart: If this option is ticked, and you have profiles that are set to run on Windows shutdown or restart, then you will be prompted before they are run. For example, you may want to shutdown quickly and therefore do not want the profiles to be run.

[note icon] Starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft introduced many restrictions on how programs can react to and handle
the shutdown or restart of a computer. Due to these restrictions this option is not available on Windows Vista or newer.

Thus, the option is suppressed (not available/displayed) on your Global Options > Expert tab because SE knows you are running Windows 7, and the option would not work (so, no point displaying it).

Similarly, the option to Run Unattended (in When > Login/Logout) is locked 'on' (and cannot be changed) because you cannot run profiles triggered by a shutdown/logoff in Attended (interactive) mode because Windows 7 (etc) does not allow that. It's mentioned in the relevant Help section.

If you ever upgrade from Win7, you may also encounter this issue (depending how long your shutdown profile/s take to complete), but with Win 7 you should not be affected.
