Sims 4 updating even though automatic updates are set to OFF in EA app

HLE124​  I've found that the EA App sometimes reverts a few of my settings after it updates.  But it doesn't happen all the time and certainly not often enough to affect every Sims 4 update.  Do you regularly uninstall and reinstall the App, or clear its cache?  The former would of course give you fresh settings, and maybe the latter too, although I haven't checked in a while.

No I don't think I've ever uninstalled it and definitely have never cleared the cache! It quite often opens on startup and has logged me out though (I'd say this happens maybe once every 5-10 times I load the PC up) and I have to log back in again. 

HLE124​  Do you remember if you checked the box to "update games automatically" when you installed Sims 4?  It sounds like that would apply to the master auto-update option in the App settings, but maybe it has effects beyond that for the game(s) where it's selected.

Other than that, I'm not sure why the setting is reverting.  Do you use some kind of cleaner app that deletes temporary files?  Do other EA App settings revert to default as well?
