Click Once Silent Updating Check For Application Updates Always Checked

I have implemented a silent updater into my WPF app to check for updates and silently install them in the background.

I've unchecked (Project Properties -> Publish -> Updates... -> "The application should check for updates") but when publishing it re-checks itself every time!

When I use CheckForUpdate(false) my app never updates silently, however it is setting the "UpdateAvailable" flag to true so on next launch I see the "Apply updates or skip" prompt.

When I use CheckForUpdateAsync() my app does update silently, and everything is almost fine. I say almost because after launching, the app is freezing. Presumably because it's checking for updates due to (Project Properties -> Publish -> Updates... -> "The application should check for updates after application starts")

Why is this rechecking itself and how can I disable it?

[Update]

Just running some tests I removed my call to CheckForUpdateAsync() and unchecked Project Properties -> Publish -> Updates... -> "The application should check for updates after application starts"). So absolutely no updating should be going on? After checking with Fiddler a call is still made to check for updates, how can this be?

As to the original question, I have discovered that when I update with the "Publish Now" button in the publication settings page of the application, the "The application should check for updates" setting is not set as it is when using "Publish" from the project context menu.

I'm using VS2013 and although that's probably a bug, there's this workaround.
