@Priyam Sharma 

is it happening with other admins also?

if yes then some backend automation is doing this as this is not OOTB behavior

Hi @Priyam Sharma ,
Is your custom application linked to any source control system (such as gitlab, github, bitbucket ...)

If so, per individual logged in user accessing the custom application it will automatically create a new update set with users name.
I don't know the actual solution but deleting the 'Repository Configuration' (sys_repo_config) record for your custom application ,which de-links your custom application to source control and it won't automatically create an  update set for individual user.
