Steam gaming service is one of the largest online video game stores for personal computers. It not only allows its users to purchase licensed games, but also offers them to take an active part in the community, choosing the best products, and even earn by selling collectibles and cards that appear during the game.
However, if launched unnecessarily, the program may interfere with the operation and performance of the computer. In this situation, the question arises: how to remove the "Steam" from the startup window 7, 8 and 10? It is not so difficult.
It is worth noting that there are not too many ways. Here is some of them.
Through the client itself
The first way to remove Steam’s startup when you turn on the computer is to use the settings set in the client’s system. To resolve this situation, you must follow the following algorithm:
- run the Steam program;
- then activate the menu of the same name, which is located in the upper panel of the service window;
- in the list that appears, go to the section called "Settings";
- in the list on the left, go to the subsection of the interface, on the right there will be some functions whose status can be changed;
- here you need to uncheck the box next to the item responsible for automatically starting the program when the operating system starts.
Task Manager
Another option on how to remove the "Steam" from startup. He suggests following the following algorithm:
- using the combination of keys Ctrl + Alt + Del, go to the window where you will need to select the task manager launch line;
- or the option is simpler: hold down the combination Ctrl + Shift + Esc and immediately go to the desired window;
- here, open the tab called "Startup";
- among the programs, find Steam and just turn it off.
Using third-party software
Perhaps the most confused version of the category of "what if". It implies the use of any utility that cleans up disks and removes stale files that appeared during the defragmentation process after the program was deleted. Let's analyze the process using the example of Revo Uninstaller. To remove the Steam from the startup, you need to do this:
- running the program, activate the settings menu at the top of the window;
- in the list that appears, select the item called "Startup Manager"; you will see a list of programs and processes that are activated when the system starts and work in the background;
- among them, find the Steam shortcut and uncheck the box, now the program will not start automatically.
