profile not running as admin when service is set to admin

I am getting an intermittent problem where profiles run as my user account rather than with admin (which the scheduler service is set to do).
I can see in the log file that the profile runs ok when it runs with admin rights but then the next run of the profile runs with just my user account and fails.

Hello,
if you manually start a profile in the background, a profile running process is launched that runs under your user account. If the job runs long enough, it can happen that the services uses the same process to run jobs.
To avoid this, you can manually start profiles in attended or unattended mode, or in the background "with preview". Such jobs will run in Syncovery.exe itself and not in a separate process.
Another option to avoid profile runner processes under your account is on the Program Settings dialog, tab sheet "Misc":
X Start Background Jobs Via Service
If you choose this, it should avoid the issue.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying tab sheet "Misc": X Start Background Jobs Via Service.
