There's simply no code that would download a version & force an update (without quite a bit of user interaction), in the versions distributed from libreoffice.org. There's a theoretical possibility, if instead you've installed the Vanilla version from the Windows Store - that one got upgraded from 6.3 to 6.4, since 6.3 is now end of life. But your description would not match that either, as that package does not ask for a reboot. If you've further input (screenshots, exact versions, MSIs you've used), can we please move this conversation to the QA list (in Cc), as it's much better placed there (and if it's a real problem, we'd need a bugreport filed anyway).

Oh, wait, on my laptop I have installed a Windows update blocker, and yet the LO update happened in the background. At least on the laptop the "Recently Used" list wasn't lost, but the icon set reverted to the default setting. On my PC even the list was lost, the icon set was also changed, and the document restauration didn't work after the PC was forced to reboot, so I lost some work. If TDF is responsible for this (and I added a qualifier to my original post), I actually consider this to be rude behaviour. I have LO installed for years on each and every one of my computer, a couple of Windows 7 still, this laptop I am typing running Windows 8.1, 3 PCs running Windows 10 as well as a MacBook Pro (High Sierra only though) and two machines running Linux Mint 19.1. Not one of them is "updating in the background", I usually do this on the Windows machines once a month via Ninite (though most of the initial install have been through what you are likely referring to as TDF), I have to download a newer version manually on the Mac (from TDF) and the only machines that semi-automatically offer updates for LO are those two Linux boxes, though I still have to select and confirm the update each and every time. And at no time has any of those updates, on any of the systems above, messed with previous system settings, at least not in a way that I would have noticed...
