Wait, when is this occuring? I don't recall any installer downloading every other day. Is this something from maybe being on the beta branch of Steam or something? Or am I just missing this?

Feels like every time I open Steam I'm waiting for the latest version to unpack...

Sounds like you're using the Steam Beta Client, which does update very often. Maybe switching back to the stable branch would be better suited for you.

I'm not on the beta client. It still gets updates every few days.

Oh, that's odd. But I also have Steam launch at startup so maybe it's doing something in the background before I open it. I don't think I've really ever seen this unpacking thing unless I maybe am installing a Steam client update periodically
