# Background jobs, and turning one off

NeuralVault runs a few scheduled jobs on their own. The Background jobs screen lists each one, when it last ran, and a switch.

## Steps

1. Open Settings, then System, then Background jobs.
2. Each row is one job, with a switch and the time it last ran beside it. A job that has never run says so rather than showing a blank.
3. Turning a switch off saves immediately. There is no separate save button on this card.

## How to tell it worked

The row you changed keeps its new position after you leave Settings and come back, and its last-ran time stops advancing once it is off.

## If it does not work

**A banner says background scheduling is paused in this window.**

Your switches still save. They take effect wherever the active scheduler is running, which is a different window or a different machine, so the change is not lost.

**A job says no run recorded yet and never changes.**

It has not had a reason to run, or the scheduler is paused as above. The time shown is the last actual run, not a countdown to the next one.

## Still stuck

Bug reports belong in the app, in Settings, About. Those carry no contact details, so they
