Need to Force Resume to Download and Upload properly

I have a question about the "Force Resume" option of qBittorrent.
When I download torrents, sometime they will not start until I click the "force" option.
And I am currently seeding 7 torrents and they are in the "Seeding", "Inactive", "Stalled" and "Stalled Uploading" status. If I click "Force Resume", then they show up with a "Seeding", "Resumed" and "Active" status.

They have no share limit and no speed limits and these are my Connections Limits

How come do I need to "force" torrents to seed (and sometimes to download) ?

qBittorrent v4.5.2 on Windows 10

Thanks for your help.

Go into Settings -> BitTorrent -> and in middle "Torrent queueing".
IF it's enabled, this could be it.

You can put Max Upload + Max Active to Infinite by putting 0 and then decrease button, it switches to infinite symbol.

So torrent queuing was disabled. I tried enabling it and setting everything to infinite but it did not change anything.
However when I saw that I was seeding, I tested and pressed "resume" on the torrent, so it was not on "force resume" and it seemed to work fine!
I'll keep testing but I guess that "force resume" may change something based on settings which is not my case.
Thanks for your help!

Force resume simply makes the torrent "run", regardless of the queue, settings.
Maybe in Settings -> Bittorrent -> Seeding Limits (down)?

I mean, worst case scenario, you can delete settings and try with a new setup, see if that works.
