Blender ignoring my sample amount

Hello,

I have the strangest problem. No matter what I set my samples to it doesn’t matter, Blender wont render higher or lower than 135 samples, even in a new scene. This is using cycles. I checked my layers tab but I don’t see anything wrong. I uninstalled Blender and all files related to Blender, then reinstalled Blender and the problem still persists. I’m stumped. Any help would be great. I attached some screenshots.

Thanks
Dave

OK I think I was being stupid. What I was reading was the path tracing at the top of the render screen. However I used to have the sample amount showing there. Is there a way to toggle it?

Thanks
Dave

Sounds like you want to use progressive rendering (Render / Performance panel)

Thanks Richard, that was the issue, thank you for your reply, it helped me a lot
