Steam not saving settings

[Aleddra]

I set Steam to launch with computer, click ok. I go back to verify the setting and it is not saved.

Help?

Could i see an image to get a better understanding of the current situation?

There is nothing to make a screenshot of. I go to settings, change the launch with computer setting, click ok. Then i go back to setting and the change did not stick.

I tried the steam://flushconfig trick, did not help.

Edit: Actually, it seems it's just the launch when computer starts that won't stick.

Did you do the steam://flushconfig while you were logged out of Steam? And did you restart your computer afterwards?

This is probably not very helpful to you, but that sounds just like this user's issue..

We tried several suggestions in that thread also, but I don't think OP ever found a solution. Not sure...

Could it be an issue with windows somehow? I don't think Steam has anything to do with it if it's just one setting.

Put Steam elsewhere; like C:\Steam for example

I think i got a fix.
-Cut/Paste steamapps folder to desktop
-Uninstall Steam
-Reboot
-Install Steam
-Cup/Paste steamapps folder in Steam folder

Right now the setting is on, i did not verify if i can modify it because download is almost capped for the month.

You never have to do that; just delete everything in Steam folder except for:
- Steam.exe (application)
- DepotCache (folder)
- Skins (folder) If you use any custom skins
- SteamApps (folder)
- UserData (folder)
- #SSFN (file)

Best bet also is never install Steam to Program Files / Program Files (x86)
Otherwise u do not actually have full control of the files/folders here; among other reasons, such as Windows UAC.

Then right click Steam.exe > click Run As Admin
Steam Client will be redownloaded into that folder.

I am also having this problem. Settings are simply not saved when "ok" is clicked.

Just tried this since I noticed the problem after a hardware upgrade and fresh windows install, but no luck.

No fixes yet. :(

Either you lack write options for your user because of the folder security; or you simply are not properly exiting out of Steam Client properly. If you are restarting/shutting down the system without properly exiting Steam Client; that is usually the issue. You do this from Notification Bar > right click Steam icon > Exit.
