This does not help.  LR continues to apply presets.  I also changed the Develop  Setting field to None in the Apply During Import panel.  It still makes changes to my photos when I import.

    Initial troubleshooting steps:

     

    1. Go to Preferences > Presets > Raw Defaults. Is Global set to a user preset, or do you have a camera-specific default to a user preset?

     

    2. Import a fresh photo. If it looks like a preset is being applied, then go to Develop and post a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) of the History panel on the left.
