Your system information

See #12668 .
Fresh logs:

steam-logs.tar.gz

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam is keeping fetching imaginary updates in dozens.
Shader precaching and shader download are disabled.

Image

No games in the list use Proton 10, by the way.

Image

Steps for reproducing this issue:

See aggravating response in #12668 .
Disable shader precaching and shader download on Steam.
Restart Steam few times.
Make sure that Steam doesn't try to fetch needless updates en masse and whatever pending updates were, these are all installed.
Play some games.
Close Steam.
Start Steam on next day.
See redundant downloads, again.
Say some extreely emotional words.
Go to GitHub, make another issue, which will lead to nowhere, again.

Cheers!

P. S.
This is atrocious.
Steam died to lack of memory amidst of some of these updates.

Comparing content_log.txt in this issue report to the content_log.txt in #12668, there's a substantial increase in lines that have ~ AppID <appid #> has no changes, # active <appid #> (<hash>),<appid #> # target <appid #> (<hash>),<appid #>.

This is a much stronger indicator that something's gone awry compared to your previous feedback.

Well, I as seasoned tester and supporter am always glad to be of use.
Assuming that someone actually needs that.

Any extended/very very verbose logging I could enable?
For some reason, these updates also proc Steam Redistributables update/validation and/or Proton updates/validation.
Which are VERY taxing operations for my hardware.
The sooner it ends, the better.

На #12631 , я так понимаю, положено с прибором.
Там вообще-то проблемка посерьёзнее будет.
Я могу что-то сделать, чтобы и по той задаче появилась полезная информация, или меня так и будут мариновать с библиотекой игр, живущей какой-то своей непонятной жизнью?

No redundant downloads because no games were installed.

Somehow, this title https://store.steampowered.com/app/3622640/ was appearing in my library as installed - but that's the matter for another ticket (once/if we'll settle with the bigger problems somehow, that's it). It didn't made any traces in in-Steam's Downloads window anyway.

More cunning stunts tomorrow.

Впрочем, может, это и к лучшему.
Я ещё после прошлого обращения в себя не пришёл.
У вас там очень компетентная техподдержка, проверено:
