Short answer: The background service for automatic tasks was never installed, usually because setup was skipped. Re-run setup from the More menu to install it.
The background service that runs Storage Studio's automatic tasks was never installed — usually because setup was skipped or interrupted. Without it, scheduled clean-ups and rules don't run while the app is closed.
Re-run setup from the More menu. The Get everything ready step installs the service and sets it to start at login.
