V10 - Can’t stop synchronizing on latest release V10

After upgrading to V10 last Wednesday (07-24-24), emClient started downloading my emails every time my computer comes out of hibernation. I have always had synchronization NOT enabled, because I want to delete unwanted emails before I manually click on ‘Refresh’. In the settings, under General, the Synchronization box is still NOT CHECKED, yet V10 is downloading my emails without my permission. I even UnChecked the box “Run on system Startup” , which did Not stop the auto download. How do we fix this?
