Hello everyone, I'm facing a problem that's becoming increasingly annoying. When I start Steam, around 20 games update consistently without issues, even though some haven't been updated in years. I attempted to resolve it by setting those specific games to only update when launched, but they always revert back to the default state upon restarting and then reapply the update. Any suggestions or solutions would be really helpful.

Previously I encountered an issue, so I made the settings folders read-only. It didn't resolve the problem and the settings still changed (message sounded).
