Steam opens up when you logon/Restarts PC

[mpgripper]

Posted before, but steam app opens up when you logon or when you restart.
updates tend to re-introduce this feature which becomes annoying after awhile, you cant stop It through Interface.

Also having the same problem.

It does this to me when I force close out of steam

same here

realy hate it, hope its a bug and not a feature.........

I thought they “fixed” this a while back, at least for when Steam is set to start with Windows…

If you start Steam manually (which I imagine includes when it auto starts on launching games that need it) then it still comes in to focus, but good luck getting Valve to do anything about that, they’ve shipped the fix and the matter is closed.

Please turn stealth mode back on at startup. It's annoying to have to close this window every time you start up.

Same issue here, seems to be a design choice, which is stupid. I'm likely to just stop steam from being allowed to load at bootup at all, so I'll likely be using it less, just to avoid the fullscreen steam interface at bootup.

Does that to me, cant change it in interface. Keeps starting up after i start pc.

reported it got a response:

Unfortunately, with the new Steam Client updates, the main window of the Steam Client will launch automatically when your computer starts if you chose to enable "Run Steam when my computer starts". This is intended change. Unfortunately, there's no official feature to start the Steam Client on minimized when your computer starts however, you may disable this setting (Steam > Settings > Interface > Disable "Run Steam when my computer starts") if you would like to.

I am having the same issue. This is a regression in my eyes. I opened a bug and was directed here.
Very annoying change. Aand, if it is a deliberate change, a really arrogant move. People use their pcs for more than Steam. But if you only start it when you want to play a game, you get five million updates that you need to instal first...
I am hoping they bring the old behavior back.

So a user messaged support in another thread, and support said it is an intentional change, and that if you don't like it, turn off the "run steam when computer starts" option...

[Larn]

yeah same. i hate this. i want that steam starts but minimized like it always did before.... wtf...

what a trash move from steam that its a intentional change.

Telling people to run Steam less seems like such an idiotic yet very Valve stance to take.

Quick way to lose my business to constantly throw ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in my face without my consent. Silent mode needs to come back.
