Why isn't display background files activity window on dreamweaver.

Until yesterday, a pop-up window was displayed where I had feedback regarding the process of uploading and/or downloading files from the server.
This morning I noticed that that pop-up window with background activity no longer appears
How can the problem be fixed?

Transferring text & image files happens so quickly, I rarely if ever see the background activity window. It disappears immediately.

The disappearance of the Background Files Activity Window in Dreamweaver could be influenced by several settings or factors:

1. Auto Upload on Save: If this feature is disabled, the background activity window might not appear during file transfers.
2. File Synchronization Settings: Changes in synchronization preferences, such as pausing file syncing in the Creative Cloud Desktop app, could affect the visibility of the window.
3. Site Definition Settings: If the local or remote site folder isn't properly defined, Dreamweaver might not display the background activity window.
