XYplorer freezes during deletes

[BenevolentDeity]

Windows 10: When I delete a large number of files using Windows File Explorer, such as deleting a folder containing many files, I can continue to use File Explorer or even close it while the deletion process continues. XYplorer, however, freezes until the deletion process finishes. Is there a setting someplace that can change this XYplorer behavior? If so, where is it?

Menu - Tools - Configuration...
File Operations - [x] Background Processing
Apply to... button: [x] Delete (runs at once in parallel process)

So many options, so little time :-) Thank you!
