Come on Valve, fix broken Steam startup already geez

[RejZoR]

Seriously? Steam worked as intended for years. You startup the system and Steam would just be there in tray bar next to clock. Exactly where I want it when my system starts. Not in full screen mode, not across 1/4 of my right monitor side, I don't want it changing from Small to Large mode by itself. It has been broken and fiddly ever since new interface was introduced and I hate it like hell. Not the interface, the obnoxious startup behavior. And they even fixed it along the way just to break it MORE recently. HOW?!?!?!?!?

I don't want to fix my startup entry or use some whatever command line. Just fix the damn thing. How is this so hard?

I haven't noticed any start up behavior issues. This might be something you can manage on your own system, and relying on Valve to fix something you can manage might be a recipe for disappointment.

Cut the ranting & describe the problem precisely. You're so busy making sure this sucks, you aren't telling enough to get what you mean! Please describe what you're observing calmly & precisely.

Setting it to launch with Windows makes it start in the tray for me. It won't start in the tray from normal shortcuts (you have to add the -silent parameter manually here, I believe this to be intentional) nor will it start minimised if it's called in response to launching a game shortcut (which I believe is a bug). Yes, you still get the "Starting Steam" dialogue, but it's not exactly hard to keep your hands off the keyboard until it goes away, Steam isn't the first app that shows a splash screen even when it's starting in the tray.

I literally described. I changed absolutely NOTHING, yet it just started opening a window on every system boot. And when I put it in small mode to the right side of display the way I had it for last 15 years and it just decides to be a bigger window and in Large mode for whatever reason. I don't know, I have Steam installed for months, what has Valve changed?
