How to turn off Big Picture mode for good?! [SOLVED?]

[Pilgor]

I'm serious. It randomly pops up into Big Picture Mode on my gaming computer! I never used a controller on my PC, I don't have an adapter to use a controller on my PC! This stupid mode keeps popping up! I don't select it, I don't press anything, and it randomly takes over my PC! I don't need Big Picture mode! I want to turn it off, but I can't disable it cause it's not enabled! What is going on?!

Please I need help! I don't know what triggers it but it's so annoying! I never used a controller and it says I need a controller for Big Picture mode! What do I do?!

SOLVED: UPDATE! I think I found it! Big Picture was checked under taskbar preferences! I went to taskbar preferences set and found the list where it was on! I unchecked it and hit okay. I hope it won't come back!

steam settings -> interface -> uncheck bpm overlay.

this setting also works as it says, when a controller is plugged in, otherwise you wont get bpm overlay. it might happen that other peripherals identify as a controller.

There's no bpm overlay. There's only Start Steam in Big Picture Mode under interface :C I'm so confused.

If you didn't tell me to go into steam settings and interface I probably wouldn't have found the taskbar preferences set! :D I think that solved my problem by finding out where Big Picture was turned on! Thank you :D

errl .. sry. steam settings -> ingame -> 2nd checkbox.
not interface.

the taskbar preferences have nothing to do with this. that is just what appears in the menu, when you rightclick steam in the taskbar.

But its doesn't bother me during games.

Okay I went to the ingame one and that checkbox wasn't even checked :/ I'm confused.

Another option that overrides this... (Win10)

In Windows Control Panel, go to Gaming, and turn on the Game bar. After that, check the "Open Game bar using this button on a controller", and it will open the Game bar instead of going to big picture mode -- which opens a lot quicker, is a lot easier to get rid of. and is actually somewhat useful.

Well Xbox Live App Game bar is super annoying too. Also it doesn't ask me if I have a controller in. So I'm confused sorry.

I have both check boxes unchecked, but it still opens sometimes when I have a controller plugged in. I NEVER want big picture mode to open, ever. Is there a way to remove it entirely?
