Still getting WI-FI popups....in swarms

I posted about this a few months ago, but it's still an intermittent issue.

Basically, anywhere away from work/home wi-fi I'll get swarms of "there's a wi-fi near you, log in" type pop ups. The first one covers the entire screen, with a disable button. A few after that pop up on the top. I than get a mix of both. It's literally ever 10-15 seconds.

The last time I posted someone suggested disabling these notifications (which I had already done, but cycled it off, than on). Unfortunately it looks like a seriously annoying bug. The only way I can stop them is to disable wi-fi.

Any other suggestions, aside from reverting all the settings to factory, or a full re-format?
 
So the network notification is turned off? Because that's the only thing I know that controls this.

Go to Settings, connections, wifi, advanced. Look at what apps or locations are enabled to turn wifi on.

All my auto-connect and notification settings are off, and the only app in the list is Smart Switch. It really does feel like something is buggy
 
Your next step is to put it in safe mode. If it stops turning on, it's an app you downloaded. If it comes on by itself, with the settings correct, in safe mode, you will need to do a full reset. If after that, it still comes up, it's time to go the warranty route.
