*If you do end up backing up then unsubscribing from your addons, you can set to display 30 items per page, and also try this js in your browser, open Developer Tools (f12) then enter this in the Console: (function())() This unsubscribes you from all the addons on the page at once - so make sure you are filtering by Gmod and have backups of the addons (.gma's) I tried deleting all the info from this file too but because of it takes lower priority, it gets "refilled" instantly. I'm not sure this will work though because steam pulls your subscribed addon info before listening to this file, but you could always try. Working with "appworkshop_4000.acf", you could also try to set all of the "NeedsDownload" instances to "0". You could try backing them up from your "garrysmod" directory and a file called "appworkshop_4000.acf" I'm sure many people have many pages of addons, making this possibly a huge pain to do, but is the only other thing I can think of right now.

This didn't end up working for me, it stays unchecked but initiates installing the addons on game startup anyway.
