Disable sending CC signals for status of mapped items?

Hi guys.
I am bumping in a strange issue and cannot find explanation anywhere in documentation or google.
(Live Suite 11.3.13 )

Lets say I:

1) Create an empty midi clip
2) Map Midi CC signal to it (for example CC 50 / 1-MIDI / Slot 1 )
3) Launch the clip just with a mouse.

All my connected midi devices with Remote checkbox start to recieve the same CC signal I had used for mapping, in cycle, each time when clip loop restart.

Same happens for example for Mute Track control or some other controls:

1) Assign MIDI CC signal to Mute of some of the track (Lets say CC 55 / 1-MIDI | Mixer / Speaker On )
2) enable disable track by mouse
3) each time I enable or disable track - Ableton emits CC same signal used for mapping, with different values - 0 for disabling 127 for enabling

Looks like Ableton tries to report mapped item's state to other midi devices, or something like that. But I really do not need that.
Worst of all, I cannot mute it. It does the same even if I have only one MIDI track, with No Input and No Output.

These unnecessary CC signals are messing all my setup, and I would be really glad to get rid of them, and somehow mute these messages.

How can I disable those sends (considering that disabling remotes is not an option)?

That was my actual problem.
I've seen that "Remote" on input is required to recieve CC signals be able to map them to params, and therefore was under impression that "Remote" on output is required to send CC.

I was wrong. "Track" is enough to be enabled on MIDI Output to send CC's, assuming that you have set outpout from the track correctly.

"Remote" just enables that reporting/feedback I was concerned about.

(It was creating a feedback loop, when you have remote both on input and output and map CC to a clip for example)

Case closed.
