Steam Starts on computer start even though the option is unchecked
In Preferences -> Interface, I have unchecked the box that says "Run Steam When My Computer Starts". However, Steam starts up every time my computer boots.

How can I actually stop Steam from starting up every time my computer boots?

Weird. Mine doesnt appear under Startup Programs... Yet it still loads up everytime my computer does (and has a really slow update *every* time)

PS Sorry to bring a thread from the dead... Cant find this mentioned anywhere else

Same issue here except Steam is also CRASHING my sound driver. It only starts when Steam is in the default location. I did change the location but that crashes my VR. Really pissed about the $100's of dollars spent for software that causes my computer to become unstable.
