Nighthawk app's Device Manager unpauses device without my input

My router is R7000 with firmware V1.0.11.110_10.2.100. 

The Nighthawk app for Android has a problem when I do this: 

1. In Device Manager, pause a Wifi connected computer. 
2. Turn off the computer by putting it to sleep or powering it off. 
3. Turn on the computer again the next day. 
4. The computer is no longer paused in Device Manager even though I did not unpause it.

How can the device be made to stay paused after it is turned back on?

    Hello Hetocem3752, 

     

    May you reinstall the Nighthawk app and let us know if your issue persists. I would also check to see if the experience is the same with other devices on your network.
