Why is it asking me to rollover symbol? The volume is greater in the front month still (VXH25).

At some point the volume must have been larger in the next contract.

k, but I didn't even think it would ask to volume rollover when Continuous Contract was set to None and automatically rollover Futures Symbol is set to No?

The "Continuous Contract" has nothing to do with the forward contract rollover - that just controls how previous contracts are handled relative to when and how much they are adjusted.

The "Automatically Rollover" will automatically rollover or not. But you will still get notified that it is time for a rollover.

The specific message you are getting, that it is time for rollover due to "Volume" instead of by "Date" is controlled through the following setting:
General Settings Window: Detect Rollover Of Current Futures Contracts Symbols Based On Real Time Volume (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Symbol)
