Steam interface
It's a couple of days when I start windows steam opens its interface on desktop.... It's annoying.... But I don't find where to set to not open the interface. If I set don't lunch steam at windows start, steam doesn't start but when I start a game it starts and open again the interface..... Any help?

The beta seems to have fixed this. So you can opt into that or wait until the patch comes to the main branche eventually.

You can get it back to how it was before with a command in registry editor.

First make sure you have auto start enabled.
Open regedit and go to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Find the entry called Steam, right click and edit it.
At the end of the line add:

-minimized makes it start minimized. No clutter on your screen on start up.
-vgui sets it to use the old UI from before the update.

So the full value data line in my case says:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -silent -vgui -minimized

... and don't change your steam settings afterward as it resets the change xD
