If I uninstall via adb, does it usually reinstall when updating apps?

Thanks for the tip.

No, at least not through the official Android Play store.

I don't know about the other application stores such as Samsung's 'Galaxy Apps' store, which is particularly intrusive. It is known for auto-installing apps even if you didn't ask for it. The best solution would be to delete Galaxy Apps store itself. Unless you use it voluntarily of course, but who does?
