Screenshot Notifications Bugged & Unable to be turned off
Every single screenshot I've taken since the latest steam client update nearly a month ago now pops up every single time I open any game, and I can't turn them off or remove them.

It doesn't matter what game I open either as whenever I start any game ALL screenshots from ALL games are popping up as a notification right away. After a few dozen screenshots, I'm sure you can understand how it can quickly become annoying. It's also slowed down the starting time of multiple games as well.

Frankly, this needs to get fixed.

And before anyone tries mentioning it, I'll make this very clear...

The following does NOT work...

1. Steam > Settings > In-Game > Uncheck all
2. Unbinding the Screenshot Key
3. Uploading all screenshots
4. Deleting all screenshots from Steam > Deleting all screenshots from Documents > Emptying Recycle Bin (somehow they keep reappearing?)
5. Uninstalling the games where screenshots were taken > Log out of Steam > Full Exit Steam > Reset Computer > Relog into Steam

Again, these methods do NOT work, so please do not bother recommending them.

Now does anyone know what will work? Because getting spammed with a few dozen notifications every single time I open a game on Steam should not be happening and is quite bothersome.

And for the record, to preempt the trolls, I like taking screenshots of certain games, so simply not taking any screenshots ever again is out of the question.

I have the same issue, sometimes Steam will go crazy and notify me again and again of like 50+ screenshots taken ages ago of non-steam added game. Not sure how to get rid of this bug.

I've yet to find any resolution to this myself beyond just deleting every single screenshot I've ever taken and not taking steam screenshots ever again. I've been having this issue consistently for every single screenshot I've taken in every game ever since August.
So if you figure something out, please share. :)
