I had the same issue & I found that setting it to “All Layers” in the main dialog (where you change things like ReferX/Y) then rather than clicking “Starting” option, I add each thing as task. E.g. I added engrave of one shape, then added cut of one shape, then added cut of another shape, then I clicked start on the tray icon (near clock). It stopped it bringing up the dialog. I hope that makes sense (I don’t have the software in front of me currently).
