BOINC setting not to fetch WU's is not working for Einstein

(moderation:
Running Windows 10 Pro, BOINC 7.16.5 X64 bit version.
It appears that when I set BOINC manager client side to NOT fetch WU's from the Einstein project it does not function properly and I am still getting WU's even still. I had to do both Suspend Project, and No New WU's in order for it to work. This is curious because it seemed to work as intended before now it just went haywire. As far as I know Einstein is the only project affected as I am enrolled in several others with no issues.
***************UPDATE*********************
Please disregard with my apologies it was the "show active tasks" button that was clicked preventing me from seeing that Einstein had downloaded multiple WU's. I had originally thought that it was willy nilly downloading new tasks one at a time even though I had set BOINC not to fetch WU's. My bad, I will keep crunching on at my own micro managed happy pace TYVM.
