Hello DL8, I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with this!
You're currently using a beta version of the desktop app, denoted by xx.3.xxx. I'd suggest downgrading to the latest stable version to see if that does the trick for you.
To do this, please toggle off the "Early releases" option in your account settings and then download and install the latest stable version from this page.
Let me know if this helps!

Here on v105.4.651 Mac, pause sync is also missing, "Early releases" is off. A massive downgrade, please fix this.
