Galaxy S6 is auto connecting to wifi networks and can't stop it

Galaxy S6 is auto connecting to wifi networks. I have all options in the advance settings for wifi turned off and it still auto connects.

Very frustrating as drains battery.

I do not want to have it forget networks, as then have to key in long security key each time.

Any body having same issues?

Is this a bug and any known fix?

As a add on to my issue.

WIFI is off, it turns itself on and connects to wifi

Yes, same issue.  When my phone went to factory reset and I had to re-establish blue tooth connections, I kept getting annoying messages about my Panasonic land line cell phone wanting to connect, over and over, and over, even though I hit decline.  Only solution was to include it in the bunch, which I was going to do anyway, but had to do it sooner to stop the constant interruptions.  On your second comment, did you turn off main WiFi switch on menu?
