Test steps get disabled automatically when a TestExecute test run fails in Azure pipeline

We have test scripts running in an Azure release pipeline, using the TestComplete adaptor (TestExecute as "preferred test runner"), and Visual Studio Test.

We do NOT have the "Rerun failed tests" option in the Visiual Studio Test task enabled.

If I have a test script, with all steps enabled in the execution plan, and any of these steps fail - when I log onto the agent virtual machine that has run the tests, I can see that the Execution Plan has all the passed test steps disabled and the failed test steps enabled.

I've searched everywhere to find what controls this behavior, but cannot find anything.  If a test fails I do not want any changes to the Execution Plan to be made automatically.

Please could anyone help advise about this issue?

Thank you.
