Steam Settings> Interface> turn off by dragging the bar to off> start Steam in big Picture Mode.
also > Startup location> place on Library

How do I disable it for good? Every time I clean my darn controller, the next thing I know I'm in big picture mode and it takes me 10 minutes to figure out how to get out of it. I know, I know, all I have to do is unplug the controller before cleaning, but that's not easy when you're bed bound and the actual computer (and plug) is about 4 feet from the bed. My arms aren't that long. If I could remember to only do it when Steam isn't open at all that would work... but getting old they say the first thing that goes is your memory and then... can't remember after that. Yeah, it's real. I inevitably forget and every time I go to clean up it up good I get in that mode and then I get enraged because I can't ever remember how to get out of it.

So, can it be done away with for good? I already have this setting in Settings turned to off so it doesn't start in big picture mode. I want to not ever have to worry about it again. Is that possible?

Thank you. This link worked, and it took me to the other thread where I left a more detailed post. Funny though, the link in that post wouldn't work for me. (The one in the big box).

Thank you so much.

EDIT: For some reason, the post in the linked thread is no longer showing up. I know I posted there, and it took my points, but now I'm not seeing it.

I really don't get this place most of the time. lol
