    Hi Fusilier2 

     

    This setting can be a bit tricky. The “Disable cross highlighting/filtering by default” option only controls how visuals interact with each other, not how slicers behave. When a slicer and a visual share the same field or are linked through a relationship, the slicer will still filter that visual - that’s just how Power BI works. This option only applies to new visuals and doesn’t change slicer behavior. If you want a slicer not to affect a visual, you’ll need to do it manually. Just select the slicer, go to Format >> Edit Interactions, and click None on the visuals you don’t want filtered. Sadly, there’s no global setting to disable slicer filtering completely, so this behavior is expected.

Hi Fusilier2 

 

That  option applies to new visuals only. There is currently no option to apply them in bulk to the existing visuals.

    Thank you,

    I know that, but I have the setting turned on and then created a brand new slicer and visual but the visual is still being automatically filtered by the slicer.

      Sorry. I don't get it. If you mean to change the visual interaction of slicers to cross-filter, it is not currently supported. Slicers filter only.
