I have a game that I don't play often, and would like to not update until I actually play it. So I went into the Properties of the game and under the "Automatic updates" section changed the option to "Only update this game when I launch it." However, every time I turn on Steam, the choice is reverted back to "Always keep this game up to date," even though I didn't change anything!
I turn off my computer every night, so the Steam program does completely close each day.
My questions are:
- Why is this happening?
- How do I stop it?

The issue suddenly seems to have resolved itself. I continued to change the setting to "Update this game only when I launch it" each time I logged on to Steam. Suddenly the past few times I've booted up Steam it has saved the setting.
I didn't do anything differently, so I don't know what solved the issue. Maybe they patched it in one of the updates.
