Windows 10: What can i do to stop Steam from booting up when my pc is turning on?

Hello!I have problem with Steam Client. I have already wrote to steam support and they said i need to write to Microsoft support.So what's the problem. Every time i turn on my pc steam boots up. I have already tried to disabling that in Steam settings but it didn't help and i tried to disable it through the task manager but that didn't help either.

Xbox One controller is navigating Windows 10 without Steam or any 3rd party apps running...

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Please confirm a few things for me.

1. Is this issue occurring with ‘Steam’ being installed on your system?
   
2. Have you checked if the controller still works on your Windows when ‘Steam’ is not running in the background?
   

Please check with the following methods.

Method 1:

Stop the process for steam in task manager and check with this.

You can stop ‘Steam’ running in the background by following the steps below:

1. Press ‘Ctrl’, ‘Shift’ and ‘Esc’. This will launch the ‘Task Manager’.
   
2. Click on the ‘Details’ tab, you should be able to locate the ‘steam.exe’ process if ‘Steam’ is running in the background.
   
3. Right-click on it and select ‘End process tree’ to stop the ‘Steam’ running in the background.
   
4. Check if the controller is still working on the Desktop.
   

Method 2:

I would suggest you to check the settings in the Steam application. You may follow the steps below:

1. Launch the ‘Steam’ application, click on ‘Settings’.
   
2. You should be able to locate the ‘Controller’ option under ‘Settings’.
   
3. Under ‘Controller Configuration’, click on the ‘Desktop Configuration’. Please confirm the settings there.
   

Hope it helps.

Steam

Hi Sam,

There are several reasons why you are unable to play the game that you installed using the Steam Client. It is possible that the app is corrupted or the permission settings are not enabled on your PC. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you reset the
app.

This process can help restore corrupted game installation files. Here's how:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard, and then click the Settings icon.
  
• Select System, and then select Apps & features.
  
• Find the game, and then click on Advanced options.
  
• Click Reset.
• Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

You may visit this
link for the instructions on how to enable app permissions on your PC.

Make sure that you are using an administrator account to launch the app. If you are still experiencing the same issue, remove the
ClientRegistry.blob file by following the steps below:

• Close the Steam Client and go to the Steam root folder or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.
• Look for the ClientRegistry.blob file.
• Make a copy of the file and change it to a different file name. (for example, copy.ClientRegistry.blog)
• Delete the original file.
• Launch the Steam Client and run your game again.

If the issue persists, you may relocate the Steam Client by performing the steps below:

• Close the Steam Client app and go to the Steam installation folder.
• Browse for the installation files that you would like to move.
• Delete all of the files inside that folder except the SteamApps & Userdata and Steam.exe.
• You may cut and paste the whole Steam installation folder to a default storage location on your PC.
• Launch the app again and make sure to log in using your account.

After signing in, you'll need to change the default installation path for the games that you will install in the future. Here's how:

• Launch the Steam Client and go to the Settings
  menu.Select Steam Library Folders from the
  Downloads tab.
• You may create a new path by selecting Add Library Folder. All future installations will go directly to the newly created path.
• Right-click on the newly created path and make sure that it is set to default.

If you are still unable to play your games using the Steam Client, we recommend that you contact
Steam Support directly for additional solutions in fixing the app and its components.

Should you have any other queries, you can contact us anytime.
