How to debug disappearing Syncthing process

Support
1

On a Windows 10 system, the Syncthing process is periodically disappearing (i.e., the web interface at 127.0.0.1 is no longer available).

I am starting Syncthing through the Task scheduler. I have tried to start it on log-in as well as on boot, but in both cases the problem is the same.

What is the best way to debug this? Is there a way to tell Syncthing to write a log somewhere? Or to enable the “History” tab in the Task Scheduler (it currently says “History is disabled” and I don’t see a way to change it).

If you have been running Syncthing without any special configuration, the log files should be saved in the default home path, which is probably something like C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Syncthing. If the AppData folder is not visible, then you may need to set Windows Explorer to show both hidden and protected system files first.
