You don't get rid of the PP alerts for all capital surnames by changing the option at 3.3.
You get rid of it by changing the PP conditions you check for. There are various ways to get to these. One way - Tools Ribbon - Potential Problems. Standardisation Tab - last option: untick Surname entered as all Uppercase. If that doesn't work, it's a bug - so put in a bug report. That said, I think these days it's best to enter in Mixed case and then use the option to display or report in All Capitals when that's appropriate. Non-genealogists don't get it.
