i have ventoy installed from official repo
while in update it shows that it is in AUR:
It appears that you do have a question about that.
But I don’t want to assume I know what that question is.
Ventoy is available from AUR as well as from official repos.
(even as two different versions in the AUR - a prebuilt -bin version and the one that is compiled from source)
Please note that updates to a particular package don’t necessarily appear from all sources at the same time; sometimes you have to wait. Typically, any package from the AUR is often equal to the package in either the Unstable or Testing branches.
As you have installed Ventoy while on the Stable branch, it makes sense to only update it from the Stable branch (in this instance from the extra repo).
The updated version will filter through the branches soon enough, and more importantly, will become a part of the usual Manjaro updates.
Have some patience, in the meantime. Cheers.
Check if your mirrors are up to date and you are properly synced. Refresh if needed.

You are probably using pamac and you have enabled AUR and AUR updates.
I would suggest to deactivate AUR updates and perform updates in two steps :
- perform normal Manjaro update
- then only if required, perform AUR updates / rebuild. I have some AUR packages and rebuild them only when the applications don’t work after a standard update. Otherwise you are calling for problems as AUR is more in phase with Manjaro Unstable libraries than Stable ones.

He has got the repo version installed and probably wonders why there is a more recent version in the AUR
Yes - it is available in the AUR as well.
Stay with the repo version.
Me, personally, I did not install it at all - I just use the .tar.gz and unpack it and run it from there …
But the versions in repo and aur are not the same, so it is a case of unsynced mirror/cache.
ventoy in the repo is 1.0.99-1
ventoy in AUR is 1.0.99-2
binary version of ventoy in AUR is 1.0.99-1 still as well
(I looked in the actual AUR)

Not necessarily ! In Manjaro stable repo, it’s still in 1.0.99-1. But in AUR, it may be a more recent or an older version, totally independently of Manjaro. Someone put a new version of Ventoy in AUR, probably because Arch and/or Manjaro was not pushing a new version in their repos and this person needed the last shot.

Indeed, this seems like a bug in the pamac gui (gtk4). I just did the big update btw(from tty), and i am on stable.
If i search for ventoy in the pamac gui search a couple of packets come up, on the top ventoy - extra as installed. However, if i select filter AUR from the left filter menu, the already installed ventoy changes magically to aur. Which is a bug of course - pamac-cli and pacman both show it as correctly installed from extra. Even the pamac-gui itself realises it is from the repos, because it is not listed in the foreign section. So it is a visual artefact of the filter/search function. Well, we know pamac gui is far from perfect but i still think it is important and nice. Just a bit buggy.
All branches are on 1.0.99-1
The issue is that pamac is showing it as an update, when it was installed from the repo. That shouldn’t happen.
The problem is that you don’t understand how the AUR works.
Ventoy is not packaged in Arch Linux, and is available in the AUR.
There is no issue of that sort if you run Arch Linux, or if you use Pacman to update the system. Now if you use an AUR helper, which Pamac is when you enable the AUR, of course if it finds an installed package in the AUR, it will want to install it from the AUR if there is a “newer version”.

when i try: sudo pacman -Syu it tells me that all is up to date and there is nothing to do. while pamac is showing that there are some updates like that ventoy.
i tried the solution in this topic:
and now the problem is fixed and there is no ventoy update from AUR -while it is in official repo- in pamac manager.
yes, it is available in both AUR and official
but: it should not update the official from AUR
yes, i think that this may be a bug
I couldn’t deduce that situation from your screenshot.
But that is apparently what it is: a bug 
good thing I don’t use pamac-gui
According to your self-marked solution, it is not a bug…
