What you're seeing is call the Graph Editor Set. You can enable the curves for any non-selected properties, which is a very powerful feature. The reason reinstalling AE didn't change anything is because this is a project-level setting.
There are two ways to disable it:
1. Go to each property that's visible and deselect the little "chart" icon next to the "stopwatch" icon.

2. If you want to leave these properties in the Graph Editor set, but temporarily disable it, you can click the "eyeball" icon at the bottom of the Graph Editor and uncheck "Show Graph Editor Set."
