S5 5.0 Automatic WiFi - won't stay off

Question

I received the original build when 5.0 was released OTA for the Galaxy s5.  When the "update" was pushed on 3/30, my phone developed an issue where the WiFi setting will turn itself on whenever it recognizes a WiFi.  I have the "smart network switch" unchecked on my setting.  This is a problem because Comcast has a hotspot network set up around Nashville so I'm CONSTANTLY having to turn off the WiFI.  Just to reiterate, this behavior only started after the update on 3/30.

Let's take a look at this Wifi trouble and make sure we find a fix! Once you turn  WiFI off does it turn back on immediately? Did this also start immediately after the update?  I'd start by testing the device in Safe mode to see if there's possibly a third party application advising the phone to turn Wifi on; http://vz.to/1B5LU1C .
