Performance & battery · Why background work waits or pauses
How can I see what Storage Studio is doing in the background right now?
Short answer: Open Job Insights from the More menu: one card per background job, with last run time and a Healthy, Working…, Ready or Needs attention pill. The notification bell also shows the current performance mode.
Open Job Insights from the More menu. It shows one card for each kind of background work — automatic file moves, app relocations, cloud transfers, Free Up Space, keeping cloud files online-only, local snapshots and the daily storage record — with when it last ran, a status pill (Healthy, Working…, Ready or Needs attention) and any issues in plain English.
A Working… pill tells you which job is active at the moment. The notification bell also shows the current performance mode, so you can tell whether Storage Studio is running normally, easing off or paused.
