Why does Fusion auto orient itself upon new sketch?

Hello, I am fairly new to Fusion 360 (coming off of Solidworks) so pardon my ignorance here, but why does Fusion auto orient itself upon new sketch? In this case, I wanted to sketch on the top face with the y up and when I created new sketch, it flipped 180 to y down. This has happened to me multiple times on different parts. I have played with the "z up or y up" settings in preferences and it doesn't seem to have any affect on this. What am I doing incorrectly, how can I avoid this, or can I turn this off somehow? Thank you in advance for your help!

Because you have that enabled in the Preferences 😉

You may consider turning all that auto project "stuff" off as well. IF you don't it will probably drive you nuts as you start getting more experienced in Fusion  360

Cool thanks! Why when the origin is up upon sketch creation, would it actually turn it 180 though? Thanks for your time!
