After the new Update 3 days ago Steam starts popping up after i start a steam game. It Pops up on my Screen on my Libary showing me the game i startet, is this a new feature and if is can stop it from showing after every gamestart xD?

My play button is on the game page, are you in small mode or other things we dont think on here.

because if we follow the explanation then it should popup again, and it dont do that i stand on it in steam client, look like diffrent view in library content , problem is my current game is there already and maybe thats why i dont see a popup.

It is not a bug. Have been on the beta version of the client since it released 19 Oct 2019.

Steam works two ways.

If the client is already on the desktop and you click play on a game it launches the game or it may bring up a launcher first.

If Steam is minimised to the taskbar (by clicking on X in the top right corner of the client) and you right click on the Steam icon to select it and launch a game with left click, Steam is brought back to the desktop and the game launches.

Note: if a game has a launcher it will show the launcher before you are then required to click on play.

nxmachine might be on to something , he talk about windows desktop shortcut launch,
we other are in the client already and on that game view alrready , so we dont see that effect popup view.
