I too, had this same incident happen....KfPC 1.17 working fine for over a year now, with update option unchecked. (BTW, I'm on Win 7, and so no longer get Win sys updates).
A weeks or so ago, I had the unexpected KfPC update, and spent some time:
- uninstalling, reinstalling KfPC 1.17, and immediate unapproved upgrade
- uninstalling again, cleaning registry, reinstalling KfPC 1.17, and immediate unapproved update
- uninstalling again, cleaning registry, deleting Kindle related program and content folders, reinstalling KfPC 1.17, and immediate unapproved update
...
I finally managed to eliminate the behavior by:
- uninstalling again, cleaning registry, deleting Kindle related program and content folders, Removing all related registered Kindle devices on Amazon site, reinstalling KfPC 1.17, with no further misbehavior.
Since I have standardized my ebook reading (obtaining content from from a variety of sources) using a different reader application and on a different Android device than a Kindle, this is EXACTLY why I choose to remain on KfPC 1.17.
Thought my experiences might shed some additional light on potential workarounds.
