Still, SDL insists in pre-populating my target segments with NMT taken from DeepL. I hope when re-booting my pc all will be ok. It's really annoying!

This can only happen if you are not applying these settings in the right place.  Make sure you have configured this correctly for your specific project if you are running this on a project.  The same the other way around, if you make the change on a project and not File -> Options then this will also fail every time you create a new project.

Could you show in the screenshot where to disable automatic pre-compiling of target segments with NMT in all projects?

I would need DeepL segments ONLY in the window "Translation results" but I'd like to populate the target segment myself, if there is no match from my memory translations.

Thank you

It's already in this thread above.  I think your problem may be related to a lack of understanding around File -> Options versus Project Settings.  Apologies if this is not the case, but based on your explanation of the problem so far this does seem likely.  Maybe this simple explanation is worth a read?

Old, but still relevant when it comes to understanding what the difference really means and why it's important to apply settings in the right place to suit the problem you are trying to solve.

I made both changes shown above with no success:

1 - Options > Editor > Automation > (DO NOT) Apply best match and (DO NOT) Apply Automated translation
2 - Options > Language Pairs > Batch Processing > Pre-translate files > Leave target segment empty

Is there anything else I can do to refrain SDL from compiling my target segments with DeepL results (which I only need as a suggestion in the Translation Results window)?

ok - so you're not pre-translating.  Did you also try this which is also in the thread above:

Please drop me an email - pfilkin@rws.com and I'll look at this with you now.  Will be faster.

Thank you Paul, but I'm really in a hurry with deadlines now. I only want to know what else I can do to stop Studio from auto-compiling target segments with DeepL results.

As I mentioned, I followed previous instructions:

1 - Options > Editor > Automation > (DO NOT) Apply best match and (DO NOT) Apply Automated translation
2 - Options > Language Pairs > Batch Processing > Pre-translate files > Leave target segment empty

Nothing changed. Studio keeps auto-compiling segments!!!

I am certain that you must be missing something simple along the lines that are already explained here.  There are no other options for this.  You do use terminology I'm not familiar with for Trados though so maybe we are at odds with what's actually happening.  Another time then.

Same here!
