Backup and sync stops at the very end and doesn't do anything afterwards on windows.

Just encountered that issue and wanted to explain how to fix it so smb else doesn't have to spend their time on it.

I believe it's a problem with writing the log file as the folder requires admin rights, so launching pycharm(and any other jetbrains app too ig) with administrator rights fixes the problem and it finishes in no time.
