Thunderbird does not check online accounts per the schedule

Hi, I'm running Thunderbird 128.4.3esr on Windows 10. It does not consistently automatically check my yahoo and gmail accounts at the configured intervals, every 10 minutes. I'll have e-mails I see on my phone from 6 hours ago that are not in Thunderbird unless I either restart or click on the little cloud Get Messages icon for that account. I never had this problem with Thunderbird on my old Windows 8.1 machine, which I only recently stopped using.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Ross
