Can no longer pause the sync process.

I am running v166.4.2920 on Win 10 using Chrome. I can no longer pause the file sync process because the choice to do so is no longer available. When I click on the taskbar icon, it shows a list of files under Activity, and another list of files under Sync History. The old submenu seems to have completely disappeared.  Hovering doesn't trigger anything either. What to do?

 

Thanks,

DJL

    Interesting thought. I zoomed the screen on and out with no joy.
    However, I performed yet another reboot , and then it straightened out.
    Go figure.

    Thanks for your help.

    Click the status of your sync and it should open a menu to pause syncing.

      Sorry, but this is what I see:

      There is nothing more.

        I should have also added that I used to see what you displayed in your response.
