That check box will only turn on content filtering services for the persons PC they are logging in from( at least that is what Sonicwall has intended), so the default is no CFS if you are logged in to the UTM as admin.
I wonder if some how you are losing connection with the CFS server, there is another check box under the configure button pop up that ask if you want to allow all or block all if the server is unavailable for x secs.

You may also want to try just disabling and re-enabling CFS for your LAN and any other interfaces you may have CFS turned on for by going to Network -> Zones and clicking the configure button for each interface.

Another good thing to check is if your firmware is up to date. Under Systems -> Settings, you can back up your config and upload the newest firmware to your box. Sonicwall does a good job at updating issues so this is a good habit to get in to.
