In the most recent trainer and the prior version when I press '0'
for population surplus.
1) I get a trainer activated immediately followed by trainer deactivated whether I touch the num pad immediately after or not.
2) The first trainer (release version) worked fine
3) On the rare occasions where I do nothing but end the turn with 999 pop showing it's gone by the beginning of the next turn.
1) Read the instructions. Function has changed.
2) Great.
3) The game automatically limits you to the maximum population of the province. The next time it validates after adding 999, like building something or ending the turn, it will reset. It should still meet the max population of the province.
Steam Auto Update. I have it turned off... it updated anyways. What the hell is up with that?

That usually happens with required updates. Non-required updates don't usually patch even when hitting play game.
