Every time i launch steam the same games keep reinstalling updates
As the title say i have been looking all over google for help with this problem but i didn't find any solution yet, and the worst thing about it is that the update is too big (over 20gb)

When you say reinstalling updates, is it downloading the update then trying to verify and then looping back to downloading the update again? If so, I had this problem about a year ago and it turned out that my hard drive was going bad. The update was trying to install to a bad block. Some games updated fine and others would not. Uninstalling the game and reinstalling would sometimes work, but there's no guarantee that I wouldn't have the same problem the next time the game needed to update.
