Worked:

Short description of error

When i have Emulate 3 Button Mouse enabled i can select edge loops by holding Shift and double click. but cant Deselect edge loops using the same button.without Emulate enabled i can select and DESELECT with same key that is alt+doubleleftclick but with that enabled only select is working, There seems to be no way to Deselect edge loops without going into settings and turning off Emulate 3 Button Mouse temporarily (which is what I have been doing)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Enable Emulate 3 Button mouse and select multiple edge loops with double click
shift+double click then try to deselect one those then you will see you cant deselect

I'm not sure if you have modified the key map but apparently shift double click does not select edge loops. Holding alt and using right click does select/deselect the loop under emulate 3 mouse button.

Can confirm. But for deselecting, alt (not shift) modifier key is assigned when emulate 3 mouse button is enabled: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/src/branch/main/scripts/presets/keyconfig/keymap_data/blender_default.py#L5493

This is essentially the same problem as #109484, because alt behaves like middle mouse button when emulate 3 mouse button is used.

Workaround is to change modifier key from source code or preferences > keymap for loop-deselect.
But almost all other modifier keys are in use for viewport navigation.

deselect works with single loop but when i have multiple edges i have to hold shift to select multiple edges and while holding shift Not possible to Deselect
