Disabling compatibility mode on Steam is pretty straightforward! Right-click the Steam shortcut on your desktop and choose 'Properties'. Go to the 'Compatibility' tab and uncheck 'Run this program in compatibility mode for'. Hit 'Apply', then 'OK', and you're all set. This should get Steam running smoothly without the compatibility mode overrides.

Another way is to navigate to your Steam installation folder (usually located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam), right-click on 'Steam.exe', select 'Properties', head over to the 'Compatibility' tab, and ensure that the box for running in compatibility mode is unchecked. Apply changes, and voila! Compatibility mode be gone!
