So I sideloaded few apps that are already present in playstore. But whenever I go to my updates menu , I can see all my apps installed via playstore as well as side loaded. Is there a way to stop this?

    Gonna suggest a complete alternative route here, but do as you like:

    1. Turn off notifications from Play Store.
    2. Install an app called AppFinder, or direct APK from their website.
    3. Use AppFinder as new place to install apps. No ads, no fuss, has advanced search functions too. No account needed for downloading apps either.

    Otherwise AuroraStore is great too, as others have mentioned.
