Android Central Question

So, I uninstall apps I don't want, and yet they remain in my update list. If I ever choose "Update All", then BANG! They all get installed again. How do I take them out of the update list?
 
Welcome to Android Central! How are you uninstalling the apps? Are doing so in the Play Store or the App Manager, or are you just removing the app shortcut from the homescreen?
 
Good question, B.Diddy. As it turns out, both Play Store and App Manager show only "Disable" or "Stop" for the unwanted Apps. No "Uninstall" shows...
 
Those are preinstalled apps that can't be uninstalled -- only disabled. If they're disabled, though, I thought they wouldn't show up in the Play Store as having an update.
