Steam window keeps popping up in the middle of the game

[mod]

Even when i closed it, minimized it to taskbar or even kept the window in the background, the steam window will keep popping up. its so annoying especially when im in the middle of the game.

i did, still not fixed

What specific window do you mean?

It should not do that at any time. Do you have a controller plugged in, or any other input device that might somehow be triggering it to come up? Lots of people have been having trouble with controllers recently around here for whatever reason.

i mean the main steam window. it pops up out of nowhere no notification, no newslatter, no invite no anything. i dont have any controller connected. only have mouse, keyboard, speaker on usb

did you manage to find a fix?
I contacted steam support, but they refuse to help. throwing blame on my system and/or microsoft windows

google SFC/scannow

ps.
there is a app controll that can prevent app popup, but before you do that you might want to check OS first. and addware chack and virus checking.

and also try a roll back to last know system files might actual also be a good idea.
before fiddle with app notifications.

This is still happening every day. After exiting the game, the Steam PC app pops every time, about a 1-2 min later. We've uninstalled Steam and reinstalled everything twice, but this is still happening. And we have "don't startup" check box checked. What's the solution?

[ItsMeNelll]

I have the same same exact problem

[Iceira]

OS has also introduced Focus, and app controll with not disturb you or only get your attension to emergency handle notifications, one thing here we might forget in the debat of things.

there is a reason why i mention this, then app can make popup and system says its okay to do so. any app can do that, its not the old ways with full screen game was master in the old days, you can actual have a email that can do the same.
