Disable auto connecting to WiFi?!

I love my S9+ but it has a problem where it constantly auto connects to WiFi hot spots. I'll be writing a message or checking an app and I get interrupted by the screen "Sign-in to use this network...". This is extremely annoying as it happens all the time and even if I click "disconnect for this network" or "dismiss" it comes back a few minutes later. This happens for every free public WiFi I've used in the past when it's detected, but when I don't want to use it like when I'm walking passed a restaurant or a bus with free WiFi.

If you see the attached screenshot of my advanced WiFi settings, you'll see the "Turn on Wi-Fi automatically" is disabled - this setting makes no difference. I usually turn WiFi off completely, then get home and forget to turn it back on and use all my data. I also had this problem on my previous S7 edge for the whole 2 years I had it. Any idea how to fix it?
