Thank you for the detailed explanation. However, I believe there might be a
misunderstanding. My current settings are '+W1280 +H720 +A0.05 +AM3 +HR +RVP +R5
+Q11 +FE +KI1 +KF36 +KFI38 +KFF73 +RS8 +BS4 +B +C'  I am inquiring about how and
why the settings or menu options differ on Windows.

There seems to be a disconnect between what is stated on in the codices official
and otherwise about options that are currently available in the windows build
GUI. If there is another place I can look for start/stop/restart of renders I
would greatly appreciate the direction.
