I have been using synctrayzor for 5 years now with no issues. Now im having issues haha

My windows 10 (Purple\_pc) is sharing a folder with 2 remote devices:

1.Dumpster Pc (found this pc in the dumpster and it works great. Angry mom at her kid who wouldnt help around the house threw it out) 2. MSI Laptop

Both the dumpster pc and MSI laptop have been off for a week or 2.

Purple Pc had 155GB of files according to the synctrayzor output.

Dumpster PC had 183 GB, becasue i deleted 30GB on Purple PC over the week while the Dumpster PC was off.

Turned on laptop to at least get it up to the 155GB, it updated fine as it was only missing 1.25GB. Turned off laptop.

turned on Dumpster PC next. left laptop off. Dumpster PC says it is up todat with the 183, and Purple PC says up to date with 155GB… nothing is being transfered BUT the GUI showed that remote device was 30GB out of sync… nothing ever synced over night. so i removed the dumpster pc remote device from purple pc, and visa verca on dumpster.

FINALLY, after re-adding dumpster, synctrayzor decided that Dumpster was the most up to date machine add gave purple pc the extra 30GB i had deleted last week.

ok, thats fine. Purple PC is now 186Gb and mathcing dumpster… i turn on laptop and it wont sync. it says it has 12k files and 30GB out of sync, but both purple and laptop say up to date. I restarted both and no transfer. Had to delete the devices again and redo the entire setup, now im stuck for 12 hours re scanning the drives…

why is syncthing not synching correctly? I used to be able to have dumpster pc off for MONTHS and it would update just fine with synctrayzor. Now i am having to redo all the paths and sharing.

thanks
