Try this:

De-select the option “Redisplay Key Signature If Only Mode I Changing”.

This raises a question that I confess I don't know the answer to. How does the difference between Ab major and F minor manifest itself? Notes are notes, chords are chords, so neither of those. What changes by setting up one or the other? After 20 years, am I about to learn something that will accelerate my workflow?

Normally you can just as well keep everything in A♭ major.
The only difference I can find, appears when you select a Chord Style like Roman or Nashville where the chord roots are numbers.
In A♭ major a chord root of 1 (or I in the Roman style) means A♭, and a chord root of 6 (or VI in the Roman style) means F.
In F minor a chord root of 1 (or I in the Roman style) means F, and a chord root of 3 (or III in the Roman style) means A♭.

And also sometimes when you use speedy entry with midi keyboard Finale decides the name to note itself. For example when you write in C Major and play "Ab" finale writes "Ab" but if you indicate you write in a minor finale transcribes it as a "G sharp"...

This is something you can control via Spelling Tables.tolga_tavis wrote:And also sometimes when you use speedy entry with midi keyboard Finale decides the name to note itself.

You do not have to use the default spelling tables for major and minor.
