Is there no way to stop the "sale" popup when you start steam now?

[Proxy]

Like the title says, I get this stupid huge popup that tries to sell me some crap when steam starts. I don't want it, I don't need it, I'm not going to buy it. I can't seem to find any setting to stop this, does it not exist?

Go to your steam settings and under interface disable the "Notify me about additions or changes to my games, new releases, and upcoming releases".

Thats already off and it still pops up. Every time.

File that one into the broken features column/list for the new UI and try the Beta Client instead. Report back with your findings.

I had the same problem but found that I can turn off "There's a major sale" popups under "Notifications". The shady bastards didn't copy my old setting in the first reply above when they created a new one.

I tried this, even rebooted after but still getting it.


I feel like I've been portaled back to the early 2000s when the internet was drowning in popup ads. At least put it in the same window, ffs.

Clean your Steam and Steam Download cache via Steam settings afterwards. There are 2 settings.

I tried Interface > Notify me about additions ...', this didnt work.
Under settings > Notifications > 'There's a major sale' & 'An item on my wishlist is on sale' when I disabled these I no longer got the notification.
So maybe its both?

The one mentioned in the first reply are for the center screen pop-up when logging into Steam.

The ones you mentioned in the "Notifications" tab are for notification toasts and mobile push notifications.

These are completely separate from each other and display in different areas.

The problem is that they have since removed the option to disable the sale pop-up window.
You have no choice but to tolerate it now.

That is certainly not the problem since the option is still there.

Where did you find it? If it is still around, then I don't think it's in the same spot that it used to be.

Steam > Settings > Interface > Notify me about additions and changes...

Make sure the slider next to it is grey, NOT blue.

It has always been in interface.

I finally found it! Has bugged me for years too lol

Settings > Interface > scroll down until you see a slider bar that states: "Notify me about additions or changes to my games, new releases, and upcoming releases" Slide to "off" and restart Steam
