Backgrounding Tools 1.0.71 Release: 12/10/25
Backgrounding Tools version 1.0.71.16336 will be deployed on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
Kep updates in this release:
- Eliminates a memory spike in the SyncroLive process caused by screen resolution changes during Remote Desktop sessions.
- Resolves persisting ‘Remote Host not Found’ errors resulting from our agent not exiting properly after Windows session changes (e.g. logout, RDP connections).
Important information for all Backgrounding Tools releases:
- Backgrounding Tools releases are automatic; no manual action is needed.
- The update affects the path:
C:\Program Files\RepairTech\Syncro. - Action required for whitelisting: If you use tools like ThreatLocker or AppLocker, you'll need to allow this path to ensure continued automatic updates.
For details, see our Exceptions and Allowlist documentation.
Since the feature release on December 3, here are some quality of life improvements that we have made in Syncro:

- Addressed an issue with timeouts which could be triggered when deleting line items on estimates and invoices as well as on invoice deletion.
