How To Stop Steam From Opening On Startup?
If you’re tired of having Steam launch automatically every time you start your computer, there are a few different things you can try to stop it from happening.
One of the easiest ways to prevent Steam from launching on startup is to simply disable the “Run Steam when my computer starts” option in the Steam settings. To do this, open Steam and click on the “Steam” menu in the top left corner of the window. From the dropdown menu, select “Settings” and then click on the “Interface” tab. In the “Run Steam when my computer starts” section, uncheck the box next to this option and then click “OK” to save your changes.

Another option is to disable Steam’s startup entry in the Windows Task Manager. To do this, press the “Ctrl,” “Alt,” and “Delete” keys on your keyboard at the same time to open the Task Manager. Click on the “Startup” tab, locate Steam in the list of startup programs, and click on it to select it. Then, click on the “Disable” button to prevent Steam from launching when you start your computer.
If these methods don’t work or if you want to completely remove Steam from your computer, you can try uninstalling it through the Windows Control Panel. To do this, click on the “Start” button and then select “Control Panel.” In the Control Panel, click on “Programs and Features” and then locate Steam in the list of installed programs. Click on it to select it and then click on the “Uninstall” button. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.
It’s worth noting that uninstalling Steam will remove the program and all of your games from your computer. If you want to keep your games but simply stop Steam from launching on startup, it’s best to try one of the other methods listed above.

In addition to the methods listed above, there are a few other things you can try if you’re having trouble stopping Steam from launching on startup. For example, you can try disabling the Steam startup entry in the system startup folder. To do this, open the Start menu and type “shell:startup” into the search bar. This will open the system startup folder, where you can delete the Steam shortcut or rename it so it won’t launch on startup.
You can also try disabling Steam’s startup entry in the registry. To do this, press the “Windows” key and “R” key on your keyboard at the same time to open the “Run” dialog box. Type “regedit” into the box and press “Enter” to open the registry editor. In the registry editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

In this key, you should see an entry for Steam. Right-click on the entry and select “Delete” to remove it.
Finally, if you’re still having trouble stopping Steam from launching on startup, you may want to try using a third-party utility like CCleaner. CCleaner is a free tool that can help you identify and disable unnecessary startup programs, including Steam. Simply download and install CCleaner, run the “Startup” tool, and uncheck the box next to Steam to prevent it from launching on startup.
