How do I stop Steam from opening on startup?

Oh, the eternal struggle of booting up your PC only to be greeted by your entire Steam library before you’ve even had your morning coffee. Fear not; there’s an easy fix! Just open the Steam client, head over to ‘Steam’ in the upper left corner, then click on ‘Settings’. Poke around in the ‘Interface’ tab and you’ll spot a checkbox that says ‘Run Steam when my computer starts’. Uncheck that bad boy and voila - you've reclaimed your startup.

Gonna be real, I actually like it opening on startup. Keeps my game updates ready and I'm always a click away from jumping into a game. But if you're not into that, just tweak the setting in the Interface tab. Peace out!

Steam popping up at startup is like that one overly eager friend who shows up way too early to the party. To give it the hint, just dive into the Steam settings under 'Interface' and uncheck the startup option. Did it myself, and my PC now starts up as peacefully as a quiet morning.
