Does NMM auto-update itself and how to prevent it?

Dear staff,

Today when I opened my NMM again a prompt message appeared asking me if I want to (YES) re-install all my mods, or (NO) deactivate all of them, or (CANCEL) do nothing in order to manually reverting back to older version. It's funny that I hadn't installed or agreed to install any of NMM's new version (a setup process should have happened am I right?) and according to what I can remember, I can say I had had the latest version 0.63.13. Does NMM auto-update itself?

This confuses and even worries me because I am really scared that NMM just auto-updated itself without even showing up a setup menu. I had a bad experience with NMM at its pre 0.63 version when it messed up all my hundreds of mods with a lot of merged plugins, manual tweaking, etc. I had to abandon Fallout 4 from then becasue I couldn't bear the pain of starting again. Now when I am back to the scene, after installing more than 100 mods that scary message showed up again. Thanks god I just have been in the process or downloading the mods and I just installed some of them without doing anything serious. So back to the prompt message, I just hit "YES" and saw NMM reinstall all my mods. It's still safe afterwards, but pointless as I don't understand what was going on. I do know that the fault was mine in the past for not reading well enough but at least I got to choose to install its new version back then.

In case if the new NMM has the feature to auto-update itself, do I have an option to prevent it from doing so? Because I don't think I have any desire to update any of NMM's new versions anymore in the future (Both YES and NO in that prompt message are just a button leading to self-destruction). I do appreciate all your hard work on making NMM better and better and I can't thank you enough for what you have done for this community but I am not brave enough to embrace the risk of restarting once again.

Thank you for your time,
Best regards

OH and today when I open my NMM suddenly ALL MY MODS ARE DISABLED. Plugins were not disabled but magically all installed mods changed from activated to being disabled! WHY?!

OK I TRIED TO UNINSTALL ALL THOSE DISABLED MODS (HIGHLIGHTED IN RED) BUT THEY ARE STILL THERE IN MY DIRECTORY FOLDER WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!
