We’ve had several of these threads and I had this exact behavior. Mine never closed until I did this. Sounds magical and superstitious but it did work. I made a new profile to test out mirror autofold behavior and all of a sudden the autoclose prompt came up as I was backing out the next day.
Deleted the new profile and it still works to this day.
I wasn’t using the new profile, reboots didn’t fix it, reprograms didn’t do it, etc. There are several long threads on Homelink woes around, and the ‘works only one way’ is the weirdest case.
Good luck!
