How to stop the apps from being started automatically when they're installed from the play store?

[AC Question]

From past couple of hours my apps are automatically getting started/opened without my consent, after they're downloaded from the play store. The screen which shows the application has been installed on my phone, and whether I want to open or not doesn't show, and even if I'm playing another game, my current game will pause, and the just installed app will open.

I've not downloaded any Theme/customization app, and nor my phone is rooted. My phone has been working perfectly since 1.5yrs.

Please, tell me how to stop them from playing automatically. It's really bothering me when I'm playing OTTTD

Try Settings, Apps, swipe to All, scroll to the Google Play Store app, and select Clear Cache. It may be worth doing the same with the other Google Play apps.
A Cache Partition wipe may also be worth doing.
