No

I only sync contacts (no appointments). The outlook contact folder field in GCSM is empty. Two error msgs are given: Outlook contact folder is not selected or invalid! and GCSM and Outlook started bij different users. Using Task Manager - Details I see that both GOContactsync. exe and OUTLOOK.exe have been started by same user. This problem occurs since a few weeks (before it worked flawlessly for several months) so it may be connected to last version.

    Further information. I reboot my P daily. The last few days I see I do not get this error message a few minutes after booting, but many hours later. It looks at GCSM works fine for first (and maybe second) sync. But then the error appears agin

    I see now that both OUTLOOK and GoContactSynd are started by same user, but Outlook is started normally and Gocontactsync is elevated (started as administrator). I do not see how GCDM is started (it is NOT in startup programs and not in task scheduler). How can I change the automatic startup of GCSM so it will start as normal user?

    Problem seens to be that definition in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    defines GCSM for Windows server and not for Windows 10 or 11. This entry is greyed out and cannot be changed. I seems the task was created on an older Windows version and isn't fully compatible with Windows 11.

    Hmm, but it runs fine on my Win10 and now Win11. Why shouldn't it run properly with this setting? And what is your advice, how to replace this setting?
