"Pause Sync" does not automatically restart on my Windows device.
After the new app update, when I "Pause Sync" for 30 minutes or 1 Hour, it does not restart syncing after the selected time.
It does say something like "File syncing and backups paused until 1:11 P...

This morning, I had paused syncing until 8am GMT and now I can not restart syncing at all as the menu options are for pausing syncing and not restarting syncing as per the image below
I tried to exit dropbox and restart but that made no difference. I also tried to change the time to pause syncing for to no avail but when I changed the time to 30 minutes (even though the display said it was paused), restarted dropbox the time duration for which it was paused changed (originally 8am before the exit and as shown above now 00:03). I am on version 240.4.8493 and on Windows 10 pro. Could it be a windows 10 issue?
Is there any way to setup upgrades so that beta versions are not installed please? I am not a fan of automatic upgrades for this reason and certainly don't want non stable versions installed without my knowledge/permission.
I always pause syncing during the day and restart at night before logging off so this is very important functionality for me so I would appreciate any help and resolution.
Another annoying feature I've noticed is that when syncing is paused, you have to click on the down arrow to show the menu whereas in the past you could click anywhere from the pause button to the down arrow (including the syncing paused phrase as underlined in the above image)
Thanks very much

This seems to have resolved itself on my login the following day. If there is an explanation for the anomaly, it would be most useful. Thanks.
