Steam keeps on popping up
Steam is constantly popping up automatically. Is there a way to fix this?

What part of steam?

When?

Do you mean "when I start my computer it starts automatically?"

Do you mean "when I click on a non-steam thing, it interrupts"?

What specifically do you see, a chat box? A sale page? The library?

When I close steam, it pops back up again.

I don't mean i close steam entirely, I just close the window. It still pops up on its own.

Please be much more specific, as I asked. Do you hit the - key? or the X in the corner?

What are you doing when it 'pops up' again? What is ON that screen when it does this?

So I exit out steam, I don't hit any keys and it pops up again. I'm not doing anything, it just does it on its own.

Do you have Steam set to launch on your computer's boot up?

When was the last time you actually shut down and rebooted your computer?

Have you scanned for malware?

What *specific* window do you see when it "pops up"? As I already asked: the Library window? The Store page? A chat window? An advertisement that LOOKS like Steam?

I have steam launch on boot up. I rebooted my computer a couple of days ago. I haven't checked for malware. Last page which I exited out pops up.

Uninstalling Steam removes all games with it. Use repair option with installer.

I installed steam again and it didn't fix the problem.

I have the same problem as this guy had but he could do better how to explain it.
It's like what happens when you click the x button on your xbox-controller.
It opens up where it was left.

So i close simply by a window-close with steam still running because i want to.
And then it just reappears.

I think there should be a way to disable the xbox button and it will be fixed.
