Well, deleting ALL my cloud data fixed the pop out problem. I had to throw out the baby with the bathwater! It’s going to take a long time to set up the sim the way it was. I suspect my 600 hours of log-time are also missing but I haven’t had the heart to check. I would suggest to anyone else with the problem that you keep searching. There had to be a better way! This whole fiasco would have been avoided if MS had not have created that auto save feature. It wasn’t needed. The free third party pop-out manager was working very well.
