Disable the Screenshot Uploader

Easy.
1.) click on the steam tab on the top left of the client
2.) click on settings option
3.) click on the cloud tab within the newely conjured settings window
4.) uncheck the box next to the statement, "Open the screenshot uploader after closing a game if screenshots were take."
5.) spam f12 with the knoweledge that that annoying box will never pop up again after gaming.

Naturally, the screenshot manager settings are in two different places.

Thanks President Batman!

So how come i have my screenshot uploader disabled already, but someone somehow is managing to upload screenshots while i'm playing, and it aint me, it screws my ping, eats my prosser and ram dpc latency goes through the roof, i come out of steam restart PC, and there is steams screenshot uploader program BUSY UPLOADING!!!

I think there is a breech in security, and someone is exploiting the software, they could get passwords or anything using this undetectable method

I'd be happier for steam to get RID of this snoop ware, if i want to upload screenshots to the web or steam i can do so manually with a browser, there simply is no need for this high risk software

If there's a breach of any kind, it's on YOUR computer. That is not standard functionality. That is a compromised PC.

Scan with malwarebytes also. Most AV don't scan for malware.

Has this changed, because I'm not seeing Client in the above instructions?

Considering the information is about five years old, it's not unreasonable to assume something changed.

No, you're just oblivious what in front of you.
