Steam Updates and Verify Install everytime

[76561198122167262]

Hi,

I do not know when this started but I recently realised that my steam has to update and verify installation every time I start/restart my computer. A little window will pop up and says "Updating" and after awhile (maybe a few seconds) it will show "Verifying installation" and then it closes. This takes about 1 minute. It's not such a long time but it bothers me. I have looked for solutions like refreshing steam file or opting out of steam beta plans (I was never opted in). Anyone know how to fix it?

well i am not really 100% sure but i think if you close Steam in some ways it dose that (like if you computer crashes or something)
Try maybe to exit Steam before you reset

You need to exit Steam properly, rather than letting Windows kill the process.

Exit Steam before you shutdown or restart and the problem will stop.

.:REAL SOLUTION:.
It's not really about getting around the issue.. but rather to try to solve it..
I assume most of you have this steam update&verification on every boot, because your msconfig/bootup runs steam directly from your "startup" folder.
In order to fix this simply:

1. click Run or Win+R
2. type "msconfig" and click ok.
3. on Startup tab uncheck Steam Client.
4. Click Apply and OK. A box will appear asking you to restart, but click No.
5. Go to Steam and click settings, then click interface tab.
6. Check Run steam when my computer starts if you haven't. Click OK

Now the steam update&verification should disappear on boot, and should run as it normally does.
That is all. Hope this helps
