steam isnt loading on windows startup (win 10)

[colony]

i did set up that setting on the software itself to "Run Steam when my computer starts", and i also did that WIN+R>shell:Startup and put a steam's shortcut file in that folder. non of those works... so what will?

if you have made sure that under the steam settings that the check box for startup on windows start then you could try putting a steam short cut in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp". if that doesnt work you could possibly creat a simple batch program to start steam for you.

this doesnt work either for some reason

steam is slow by default

that's why it's called Steam, it's intended to display the outdatedness compared to electricity and modern electronics

at least that's the logical conclusion I came to, I for one have to spam steam exe manually when I wanna start client, I go to steamfolder, find steam exe (desktop shortcut works too) and spam it 500x or so, which will load 1 client and ~499x "steam already running" popups

I dont use autostart, have it disabled, because I just know if I enabled it, it wouldn't start it (autostart only does 1 trigger, not the ~500 this horrible program needs)

at least I did so until today, now I can't "login" instead hahaha - because I have no internet the client says

You do, it's just a hidden folder. Try putting the command %ProgramData% in to the run bar (Win + R)

Why would you even want that? Makes the startup slower.

i tried to create the folder "Start Menu" cuz it doesnt appears and the windows just deletes it when i write the name...
i have a folder thats called "Start Menu Places" but i have no idea if its the same thing


edit: oh im sorry, it had start menu folder in my language XD

ya, the steam shortcut is in that "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp". and no, its not working

Hey man still with that problem?
I figured that i needed to disable Admin Rights in Steam.exe to make it work.
Make sure Steam appears in Taskmanager Startup

[colony]

[Hyper Killer , Fury]

Open task manager and end steam the restart steam
