When ever I try to update or install any plugin for UE 5.8 the epic launcher keeps updating UE 5.8.1 to 5.8.2 while I’m already at 5.8.2

open epic launcher and check unreal tab it shows 5.8.1 but not showing 5.8.2 even after updating multiple times.

This looks very similar to the UE 5.8.1 → 5.8.2 Launcher issue I investigated.
In my case the first Update had already installed the actual UE 5.8.2 / CL 56702186 Engine files, but the Launcher metadata remained at 5.8.1 and kept offering Update/Resume.
I documented the Launcher logs and added a read-only PowerShell diagnostic plus an optional workaround here:
Epic Games Launcher stuck on Resume after UE 5.8.2 update – manifest commit never completes
I would recommend running only the default DRY RUN first. It does not modify anything and will check whether your physical Engine is already 5.8.2 / CL 56702186 and whether the remaining problem matches the same Launcher manifest/pending-state issue.
i dont remember what exactly fixed it. but i delete a folder “C:\ProgramData\Epic\EpicOnlineServices” and as well from “C:\Users\Ajinkya\AppData\Local\Epic Games”
