Project no longer synchronizes after git pull/push

I just installed the lasted version of pycharm on a new laptop and noticed that when I do a get pull and the project no longer automatically synchronizes the files that changed. I have to right click the project root director and click "Synchronize '<project name>'". Similarly, when I edit a file and git push it. the file's status (changed vs unchanged) does not update until I manually synchronizes the project again. 

I am on a windows 10 machine and don't use any git tools other then than the command line.

I have an older version of pycharm on my old computer and it does not have this issue.

Does anyone have any ideas? It's a small problem but very annoying.

Thanks.
